Christian College Settles Teacher Lawsuit Over Biblical Teachings on Sex

Ballarat Christian College in southeast Australia can now retain its Statement of Faith defining marriage as a union between a man and woman as a result of a settlement it reached with a former pro-same-sex marriage teacher.

As part of the settlement, the Christian college in Victoria will pay an undisclosed amount as payout and give a positive employment reference to Rachel Colvin, who filed the lawsuit backed by LGBT rights group Equality Australia, according to The Australian.

Colvin claimed she was forced to quit when she refused to adopt the school's stance on traditional marriage.

The college’s principal, Ken Nuridin, said, “Our College provides high-quality Christian education in accordance with our beliefs. The claim has taken an enormous cost in time and resources already – detracting from the ability of a small school like ours to focus on what is important, the education of our students.”

In the 2017 Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey, more than 61 percent of voters approved a change to the law to legalize same-sex marriage.

The Ballarat Christian College case has highlighted the need for religious freedom for those who believe in traditional marriage, some Christians have argued.

Why did she go to work at a traditional Christian college, if she could not support their beliefs?

I know it is no use asking that.

The legal case will have cost the College a lot of money, and now they have to give her a pay out, as well.

The College's position is taken directly from the Scriptures. Most theological schools have a statement of faith that is their brief summary of their core doctrinal beliefs and require faculty to sign it as a condition of employment. My question is how did the plaintiff get hired in the first place?

Note that does not mean that they hate people who disagree. It does mean that those who do not hold to those beliefs would be a better fit at another institution.

Her issue is not with the college but with God.

She will meet with Him on a later date. He will deal with her then.

I see your point, but why did she file a lawsuit then?

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

To suck money out of a Christian school and to make her feel better about herself and her beliefs.

Simple and correct answer:

To Support & Promote the Militant Homosexual Agenda!

Apparently, Australia doesn't have this in their constitution:

"Congress shall make no law respecting [with respect to] an establishment of
RELIGION, or prohibiting the free expression thereof.
