A\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>Christian nursery worker\u00a0is claiming unfair dismissal<\/a><\/strong> after losing her job because she said she told a lesbian colleague the Bible regards the practice of homosexuality as a sin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah Mbuyi said she made the comments only after being pressed on her beliefs by a colleague who initiated the conversation at Newpark Childcare in Highbury, north London, in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the colleague gave her employers an different story and Sarah Mbuyi was called to\u00a0an internal disciplinary hearing. \u00a0The nursery directors instantly dismissed her for gross misconduct.<\/p>\n

Mbuyi, who is claiming unfair dismissal on grounds of religious discrimination, said: “When I said ‘No, God does not condone the practice of homosexuality, but does love you and says you should come to Him as you are’, [her colleague] became emotional and went off to report me to my manager.”<\/p>\n

She is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre. \u00a0The story broke just days after the Prime Minister had urged Christians<\/a><\/strong> to ‘more evangelism’ and ‘to\u00a0improve both the spiritual, physical and moral state of our country.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Andrea Williams, the Christian Legal\u00a0Centre’s director, said the government had “seriously let down” Christians and criticised David Cameron for attempting to “mould Christianity to his political agenda”. \u00a0Mrs Williams\u00a0said if the prime minister was “serious in his support for Christianity”, he would intervene in the case.<\/p>\n

She went on: “Sharing Biblical truths out of genuine love and concern for colleagues is being outlawed in the workplace by a dominating cultural correctness.”<\/p>\n

The story illustrates that the ‘acceptance’ and ‘tolerance’ demanded by homosexuals is not extended to their opponents.<\/p>\n

They said they just wanted to be left alone to get on with their lives in private – unitl they achieved that.<\/p>\n

Then they said they just wanted to be tolerated as a minority\u00a0– unitl they achieved that.<\/p>\n

They said they just wanted to be accepted as who they were by psychiatrists – unitl they achieved that.<\/p>\n

Then they said they just wanted to be treated the same as everyone else in employment\u00a0– unitl they achieved that.<\/p>\n

Then they said they just wanted equal access to goods and services – unitl they achieved that.<\/p>\n

They said they just wanted their disordered relationships to be recognised by the state\u00a0– unitl they achieved that.<\/p>\n

Then they said they just wanted to be married\u00a0– unitl they achieved that.<\/p>\n

Now we have the spectacle of Christians being hounded out of their jobs for expressing the Gospel upon which this nation is founded, or forced to act against their conscience. \u00a0A ‘hate-crime’ law is operating clandestinely, clamping down on freedom of speech and freedom of expression.<\/p>\n

And alongside the revelation that sharing a Biblical view in response to a question is ‘gross misconduct’, is not one of the most disturbing aspects of this case that a lesbian is working in a children’s nursery and no-one bats an eyelid?<\/p>\n

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: <\/strong><\/p>\n
