Teacher suspended for Christian beliefs

A Christian teacher has been suspended from a senior post for complaining that a staff training day was used to promote homosexual rights.

Kwabena Peat, 54, left a compulsory training session with several other Christian colleagues at the north London school after the speaker, Sue Sanders, invited by the School head teacher, openly questioned why people thought heterosexuality was natural. Mr Peat says that Ms Sanders, who openly describes herself as a lesbian, told him and his colleagues that those who did not accept that being homosexual was ‘normal' had ‘issues' they must deal with. He said: ‘I expected the training session to help us by providing good information on how to handle bullying but she had another agenda. She started promoting homosexual lifestyles and suggesting those who had objections should sort out their prejudices'. Mr Peat, who is a year-head, and other staff were deeply upset that teaching staff, and others, who disagreed out of Christian conviction were given no opportunity to respond.

Pray:

against the ongoing attacks on Christians in the workplace. Pray for their ability to stand firm in their faith. (2Ch.20:17)
