CAMBRIDGESHIRE, U.K. — A Christian prison worker in the U.K. who was barred from participating in chapel services after quoting a Scripture that references homosexuality has lost his appeal, as an Employment Appeals Tribunal was not convinced that he had suffered discrimination.
The tribunal concluded that the policies at HMP Littlehey, a prison for sex offenders, were legitimate in light of the prison’s desire to maintain order as some inmates could find the quoted passage offensive.
“Justice Slade upheld the Employment Tribunal’s ruling that the quoting of [certain verses in] the Bible in a chapel service could ‘legitimize … mistreatment’ of homosexual prisoners,” the organization Christian Concern also advised via a press release on Wednesday.
As previously reported, Barry Trayhorn, an ordained Pentecostal minister and gardener at HMP Littlehey, had volunteered his time and talents during the chapel services at the facility since 2012 at the invitation of the prison chaplain.
In May 2015, while leading worship, Trayhorn felt led to quote from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and exhort prisoners that forgiveness is available to those who will repent.
“The ruling means that certain parts of the Bible may be regarded as off-limits for quoting and preaching from in a chapel service,” it lamented. “In effect, the state is determining that some parts of the Bible are acceptable to quote and some are not. If you quote the wrong part, you could face consequences.”

How fascist of them. Preach it anyway.
Meanwhile, the UK looks the other way when it comes to Islam.
Lol! Murdering robbing raping yobs are offended. Pull the other one.
Wankers.
Yup, he should have quoted from the Koran how to treat homosexuals.
Remember, this is the same Britain that is now Post Christian and demands that imperfect children be left to die with no recourse. My recommendation to the prison worker is to remember you don’t serve any earthly king, be true to the one real King.
So, I assume indoctrination includes being informed rape is likely.
Koran says its a sin. Hadiths prescribe the penalties, including death...
“Abu Dawud (4462) - The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Lot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.”
al-Tirmidhi, Sunan 1:152 - [Muhammad said] “Whoever is found conducting himself in the manner of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the receiver.”
Oh that’s OK...
a moslem prison worker will go in there and chop of heads of homosexuals after asking for a show of hands...
;)
The U.K. is only a few years ahead of us with the homoFascism.
Just a few.
