Sometimes, justice can be slow.
It’s been four years since we first broke the news about Kristie Higgs, a school pastoral assistant who was dismissed for sharing her concerns about transgender teaching at her son’s Church of England primary school.
This week, her appeal will be heard.
Her appeal was initially going to be heard in early 2022, but it was delayed after we questioned whether a high profile LGBT activist was appropriate to hear her case. We give thanks to God that Edward Lord was asked to step down and we now pray that Kristie would get a fair hearing at the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
Please pray with us for justice for Kristie, and that Christian freedoms would be protected in schools. Pray:
Make a gift to help us support more people like Kristie
Meanwhile, please also pray for the case of Rev. Dr Patrick Pullicino, a Catholic chaplain and former neuroscientist, who is taking legal action against an NHS trust after he was dismissed for answering a patient’s questions about the church’s teaching on marriage. Almost unbelievably, he was told by the Acting Chief Executive of the trust that diversity and equality “take precedence over religious belief.” His story has been covered by the Telegraph.
We are also expecting outcomes in several other upcoming cases. In particular, please pray for justice for mother, Izzy Montague and for Rev. Dr Bernard Randall, as he challenges his diocese’s treatment of him.
