Bishop accused of blacklisting chaplain over sermon on identity politicsAn employment tribunal is to hear the case of a former school chaplain who says he was blacklisted from officiating in the Church of England after giving a sermon on identity politics. He says that the diocese failed to defend him and instead blacklisted him as a "safeguarding risk" to children. He also claims that the diocese has never specified what the allegations against him were or shown evidence of wrongdoing. Speaking ahead of the hearing, Dr Randall said he had been deeply hurt by the Church of England. The bishop failed in any way to stand up for Bernard and is effectively seeking to end his ordained ministry.
