Dear Editor,
It was encouraging to read about Sarah Mbuyi (‘Christian wins discrimination case’, July en) winning her case at an employment tribunal after being sacked for expressing her beliefs about homosexuality to a colleague who had approached her on the subject. Sarah acted wisely in this increasingly difficult area for believers and you cited Matthew 10.16 – to be both gentle as a dove, but wise as a serpent. Jesus himself was, of course, confronted by those who wanted to trap him in his words. After reading your article I was reminded of Matthew 21.23-27.
When asked: ‘By what authority are you doing these things?’ Jesus turned the tables by asking: ‘John’s baptism – where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or from men?’ His opponents were unwilling to answer, so Jesus refused to answer their question.
