Christian student at High Court to appeal uni ban

Mr Ngole was removed from his social work course by Sheffield University's 'Fitness to Practise' Committee after he articulated his Christian beliefs about sexual ethics and marriage during a Facebook discussion.

He said on Facebook: "Same sex marriage is a sin whether we like it or not. It is God's words and man's sentiments would not change His words".

Mr Ngole's barrister submitted evidence that the committee was chaired by a prominent and long-standing LGBT campaigner, Professor Jacqueline Marsh, and that both she and the university failed to disclose her interest in the issue at any point during the proceedings.

Evidence of the professor's LGBT campaigning history has been submitted as part of Mr Ngole's call to have the committee's decision overturned and his place on the MA course restored.

The hearing is expected to last until tomorrow.

Sheffield University say they do not plan to release any statement before the court case has concluded. 

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
