NI church leader: Christian belief is not tolerated
“Christians have had their wings clipped in our politically correct world”, the new Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland has warned.
Dr Ivan Patterson also highlighted the recent case of a Christian GP in England who discussed his faith with a patient and is facing disciplinary action. Dr Patterson made the comments in a speech as he was installed as Moderator in Belfast on Monday.
He said: “We’ve seen how a Margate doctor, Richard Scott is before the Medical Council because he spoke to a patient of his faith. Now he may have to pay the consequences which he says he is willing to do and so may we if we are to be faithful to the Lord’s commission.”
