Sizer not anti-Semitic, says tribunal QC

Marie van der Zyl

Not ‘one word or statement’ from Stephen Sizer produced at a special church hearing ‘has been shown to be anti-Semitic,’ the QC representing him has asserted.

Stephen Hofmeyr QC said that the retired evangelical church minister had ‘repeatedly, unreservedly and very publicly’ said that ‘ anti-Semitism must be repudiated unequivocally.’

Hofmeyr was speaking during a Bishop’s Disciplinary Tribunal, the result of which is expected at any time, following complaints made by the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BDBJ).
