Expelled Christian Student Reaches Settlement With University

Julea Ward’s former university.

 

The case of an Eastern Michigan University Counselling student who was kicked out after refusing to counsel a gay client has finally reached a settlement in court.

Christian Julea Ward has been awarded $75,000 (around £46,000) from the university and was informed that the expulsion will be removed from her record.

The graduate decided to refer an assigned client to a colleague after she bore the task of counselling a client on same-sex relationships.

In January, it was ruled that Ward’s faith may have been the reason she was expelled, and the case was sent back to a lower court.

 

Christian Appeals After Being Forced To Work Sundays

Have you been forced to work on Sundays? Most of us adhere to our employers wishes and go into work instead of attending Church on a Sunday. Celestina Mba however, made a stand and resigned from her job at Brightwell Children’s Home in Morden, London.

 

After making a formal complaint, the case has been brought to an Employment Appeal Tribunal. This Christian in particular had previously omitted working on Sundays but when management changed hands at the Home, she was forced to go work instead.

 

In February this year, Mrs Mba already lost her appeal at a hearing when a judge concluded it was acceptable to work on Sundays. Although she has already been knocked back, this woman is still fighting for her beliefs.
