An Employment Tribunal in early March heard that Christian views on marriage should not be expressed in the workplace.

Last year Sarah Mbuyi was dismissed from her job after a colleague lodged a formal complaint against her.

Lesbian couple

The colleague had commented that she would consider Christianity only when she and her lesbian partner could get married in church, and that she thought God would approve. Miss Mbuyi responded by sharing her belief in the biblical teaching that homosexuality is a sin. Sarah was investigated and immediately dismissed for gross misconduct, a penalty normally reserved for theft or violence.
