BREAKING: ENOCH BURKE FINED €225,000 AFTER REFUSING TO BOW TO TRANSGENDERISM Teacher Enoch Burke refused to endorse transgenderism in his school. Today he was fined almost a quarter of a million euros by the Irish Courts. Enoch Burke won his Court of Appeal case last July against the make-up of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel appointed to hear the appeal of his dismissal from Wilson’s Hospital School. The panel had included Kieran Christie, the General Secretary of the ASTI and promoter of transgenderism. There is a major discrepancy between the recent Court of Appeal judgment (which ordered the removal of Kieran Christie) and the behaviour of the High Court today in continuing to uphold the lawfulness of Enoch Burke’s suspension. The Court of Appeal ruled that the principal’s “overarching complaint” against Enoch Burke was his refusal to comply with her instruction to address a child by a new name and the “they” pronoun. The Court of Appeal further ruled that “indisputably” the disciplinary authorities must assess the legitimacy of that instruction. The High Court has never assessed whether the principal’s instruction was legitimate. It has repeatedly refused to acknowledge the true basis for the disciplinary action against Enoch Burke and has never determined Enoch Burke’s claim that there has been a breach of his constitutional rights. Notwithstanding, it has purported to uphold the lawfulness of Enoch Burke’s suspension. In all of these matters the High Court is wholly at odds with the recent judgment of the Court of Appeal. Today Judge David Nolan refused to have regard to the findings of the Court of Appeal and threatened to find members of the Burke family in contempt of court for raising the issue. Judge David Nolan refused to allow Enoch Burke’s affidavit or submissions to be opened or addressed in court. This behaviour is extremely concerning. Judge David Nolan stated today he does not want to put Enoch Burke back in prison. In the same breath he has accused Enoch Burke of having “a perverted sense of justice”. The truth is that Judge David Nolan knows that the public is appalled and outraged at the perverted actions of the Irish Courts over the past three years as Enoch Burke has been repeatedly denied his constitutional rights, the very rights which Judge David Nolan and others have solemnly vowed to uphold. All of this would never have happened but for the silence of the Church. The Church has betrayed Christ and been silent. For the last three years Enoch Burke has been made a pariah and a scapegoat for refusing to affirm transgenderism. The ethos of Wilson’s Hospital School, a Church of Ireland school, is Christian. Its teaching is “God made them male and female”. ‘Bishop’ Patricia ‘Judas’ Storey, the Patron of Wilson’s Hospital School, has betrayed this ethos, as has Archbishop John ‘Judas’ McDowell. Enoch Burke stood up for the ethos of Wilson’s Hospital School in 2022 when Principal Niamh McShane instructed all students and staff to use the ‘they’ pronoun for a male student. He objected to this demand. Storey and McDowell were silent and agreed with corrupt judges who upheld Enoch Burke’s unlawful suspension. When you see these people in their pulpits, making their fair speeches, think of Enoch Burke - locked up for over 500 days, stripped of his salary and denied his constitutional rights. Do not be deceived. These so-called Church leaders are Judases who have  betrayed Christ. Their silence has been the prime cause of this whole situation.

BREAKING: Security guards block teacher Enoch Burke from attending his school this week after he refused to endorse transgender ideology and call a child “they.” Enoch Burke has had his salary robbed, his bank account emptied and has spent over 500 days in prison. An excellent, highly educated Irish teacher is now being blocked from his place of work because he will not deny his Christian belief, trample on the Christian ethos of the school and endorse transgenderism.

BREAKING: Judge Brian Cregan refuses to give key ruling but instead directs school to prepare fresh imprisonment and sequestration papers   At last week’s hearing, Enoch Burke had submitted that due to the judgment of the Court of Appeal in July this year, the Order of the High Court upholding his suspension was no longer enforceable.   The Court of Appeal ruled in July that the principal’s instruction to call a child “they” is a “a kernel” of the case and must be examined for its legitimacy.   Judge Cregan had said that his ruling on this issue would be delivered by today.   Instead, turning a blind eye to the Court of Appeal judgment, Judge Cregan opened proceedings today by directing the school to prepare fresh papers for the attachment and committal to prison of Enoch Burke and seizure of cars.   Dark days in Irish Courts.

BREAKING: Teacher Enoch Burke speaks out as High Court judge threatens seizure of cars and assets in transgender row In July 2025 the Court of Appeal ruled that the principal’s “overarching complaint” against Enoch Burke was his refusal to comply with her instruction to address a child by a new name and the “they” pronoun. After three years of the High Court refusing to admit this simple truth, this was the first acknowledgment by a Court of the reason why Enoch Burke had been suspended and purportedly dismissed. The truth had always been there and clear to see from the beginning in the principal's report. Today Enoch Burke submitted to High Court Judge Brian Cregan that a huge question mark now hangs over the validity and enforceability of the Order of Judge Alexander Owens of 2023, which upheld Enoch Burke's suspension as lawful. It is on foot of this Order that the High Court has subjected him to imprisonment, fines and now considers sequestration of assets. Where do the leaders of the Catholic Church stand on the abuse of children in schools across the country? The Catholic Church had a powerful influence in the recent presidential election. Declan Ganley, a fervent advocate for Catholicism, led the campaign urging people to spoil their votes. Other Catholic activists such as David Quinn and Maria Steen of the Iona Institute, as well as John McGuirk and Ben Scallan of Gript Media, were also prominent in this campaign. The individuals mentioned above showed a fervent opposition to Heather Humphreys. The antipathy to Humphreys, we are seeing now, was driven by her cultural background and her religious beliefs. Aontú, the political party led by Peadar Toibín, has been utterly exposed in recent days in a damning investigation by the Independent newspaper. Multiple members of the Ógra Aontú, the party’s youth wing, including the leader John Paul Bryan, were revealed to have shared and posted deeply bigoted and anti-Semitic comments in a WhatsApp group. In one exchange an individual says he was “the only black guy in Ógra Aontú” (a reference to his Protestant background) and John Bryan replied “Please God we can keep it that way.” Bryan is a close associate of Mayo TD Paul Lawless. Bryan was Lawless’ election agent in the 2024 General Election. In a school near Paul Lawless’ base in Mayo a teacher recently reported students telling her “we can’t vote for a Protestant.” The Aontú revelations show clearly where this sentiment is coming from. No matter what Heather Humphreys did, even to advance the cause of a United Ireland, she was unacceptable because she was not a Catholic. The “Spoil the Vote” campaign ensured the election of Catherine Connolly, a Marxist who fraternises with terrorists. After spending weeks saying he couldn’t vote for either candidate, RTÉ reported Peadar Toibín congratulating Connolly and saying he had “no doubt” she would be a good president. Paul Lawless likewise went out of his way to congratulate the new Marxist president. RTÉ also reported Archbishop Eamon Martin praying for God’s blessing on Connolly (a supporter of terrorists), and that the Holy Spirit would “inspire her” in her role. Some months ago we urged Archbishop Eamon Martin to speak out on the destruction of children in schools through LGBTQ+ ideology. While Eamon Martin is quick to celebrate the election of a Marxist as Ireland’s President, the Church he leads maintains a deafening silence on the ruination of the next generation. The Lord Jesus Christ said in the Gospel of Matthew that “whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” We urge parents to stand up against the indoctrination of their children.

BREAKING: Teacher Enoch Burke barred at school gates after refusing to call a child “they” His crime is that he will not encourage a young boy to become a girl. This is the ideology of Catherine Connolly and her far-left supporters including Paul Murphy, Ivana Bacik, People Before Profit and the Communist Party of Ireland. Please do not spoil your vote today. Vote for the only alternative, Heather Humphreys, to keep a Marxist socialist candidate out of Áras an Uachtaráin for the next 7 years.

BREAKING: BURKES SPEAK OUT ON SINISTER “SPOIL THE VOTE” CAMPAIGN Millionaire and Catholic activist Declan Ganley is urging Irish people to spoil their votes in Friday’s presidential election. This is deeply concerning. Catherine Connolly is a dangerous, manipulative and dishonest woman who has the full backing of hard-left, Marxist and communist parties. Throughout the campaign we have seen attacks on Heather Humphreys because of her religion and cultural background. We have also been made aware of an email from a priest to his congregation, urging them to spoil their votes and saying that “catholic candidates” are required. It is a dark day in modern Ireland when a candidate is targeted and abused for these reasons. A spoiled vote is a vote for Catherine Connolly. It is deeply alarming if the organisers of the “spoil the vote” campaign would rather have a communist and a friend of terrorists in Áras an Úachtarán, because the better candidate happens to be of a different religious belief or cultural background.

BREAKING: Enoch Burke attacked by Catherine Connolly supporters in Limerick City. There is only one way to prevent Catherine Connolly becoming the 10th President of Ireland. Do not spoil your vote on Friday. We urge people to vote for the other candidate, Heather Humphreys. A spoiled vote is a vote for Catherine Connolly and all that she represents. Please do not be deceived by Declan Ganley and his team who are encouraging the electorate to spoil their votes. This coming Friday the Left will come out and support Catherine Connolly. It is sinister and wrong that voters who would typically support a centre-ground candidate, are being urged to spoil their votes and by default hand Áras an Uachtaráin to a communist. On Friday 24 October, for the sake of your children and grandchildren, and for your country, we urge you to cast your vote for Heather Humphreys.

BREAKING: Security barred teacher Enoch Burke from attending his school this morning after he refused to call a child “they”. An excellent, highly educated Irish teacher, commended by students and parents, blocked from his place of work because he will not deny his Christian belief. Andrew Wilson directed in 1724 that Wilson’s Hospital School be founded with a Christian ethos, as a place where young men would be brought up to live a righteous life. Today a teacher is barred from entering simply because he will not trample on the Christian ethos of the school and endorse transgenderism.

EXPOSED: LGBT TAKEOVER AS CHURCH LEADERS ABANDON THE FAITH OF THEIR FATHERS The Free Presbyterian Church was founded on faithful adherence to the Word of God and separation from all compromise of Biblical truth. Today its leaders are promoting the very things it was founded to oppose. On Sunday evening, we visited Martyrs’ Memorial Free Presbyterian Church in Belfast and sought to speak with Ian Brown, the minister of that church and the Moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster. We met with Mr Brown outside the church but he would not engage at that time and his wife locked the door behind him. Mr Brown later referenced children arriving on buses. However there were very few children to be seen on any bus as can be seen from video footage. We were deeply alarmed in recent days when Mr Brown exalted and eulogised Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in the United States on September 10th. Charlie Kirk was the founder of Turning Point USA, a political and religious organisation which brings together students from different religions and backgrounds. TPUSA Faith, a sister organisation, exists “to unite the church.” Charlie Kirk was, in many serious ways, a confused man who was influential in drawing countless young people back to the Roman Catholic Church. He led many to the worship of Mary and promoted the praying of the rosary and praying to saints. Mr Kirk always wore a medal of St Michael, a Catholic symbol. The first night of the TPUSA tour after Kirk’s death was headlined by his close friend Michael Knowles, an influential American “conservative” commentator. Knowles is a former actor who is known for taking a lead role in a sodomite student film among other ventures. He makes no apology for his acting. Knowles began his address with a public prayer to St Michael. He said “Charlie had a great affinity for St Michael the archangel and I think the St Michael prayer speaks especially to our moment.” Knowles went on to promote attendance at Catholic religious services. The majority of confirmed speakers at the TPUSA tour are Mormons and Catholics. In a separate interview Charlie Kirk’s best friend and show producer Andrew Kolvet spoke of Kirk’s love for the “ritual and ancient feel” of the Catholic Eucharist (which he attended with his wife Erika, a practicing Catholic). Charlie Kirk’s memorial service was attended and addressed by a host of Mormons and Catholics including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has described himself as “fully, theologically, doctrinally aligned with the Roman Catholic Church.” All Free Presbyterian ministers make a vow before Almighty God at their ordination to “maintain with all the strength God shall give [me] the position on Biblical separation from apostasy.” They vow to “expose and resist apostasy” and to “defend the doctrine of Christ against all error.” On 14 September 2025 Ian Brown dedicated a full sermon to the subject of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In that sermon he lauded Charlie Kirk as a “fantastic apologist” and drew parallels between his assassination and the martyrdom of Stephen. Mr Brown gave special recognition to the work of TPUSA, rejoicing from the pulpit that the organisation had received 18,000 new chapter requests and 32,000 enquiries since Kirk’s death. Mr Brown also shared a summary of Kirk’s memorial service which lauded the religious contribution of Marco Rubio, a fervent Roman Catholic. Numerous ministers of the Free Presbyterian Church have paid similar tributes. Rev. Stephen Greer, the son of Rev. John Greer (Clerk of the Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church) said that when Charlie Kirk died he was “immediately received into glory.” Rev. Marcus Lecky of Cookstown Free Presbyterian Church referred to Kirk as a “Christian martyr.” Mr Lecky placed Kirk on the same level as Stephen, Antipas, Jan Hus and William Tyndale, and declared that “like them, Charlie Kirk is gone to his throne in heaven.” Rev. Roger Higginson of Lisburn Free Presbyterian lauded Kirk as “a man who stood up for righteousness” and “a man who stood up for Biblical truths” and said that Kirk had “paid the ultimate price for his faith.” Higginson indicated that Charlie Kirk had “died for Christ” and gone on to his reward, and lamented the “division” in the church today. Likewise Ministers David Park, Joshua Moffat, Garth Wilson and Samuel Murray and many others paid similar tributes to Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile Rev. John Greer, Clerk of the Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church, has remained silent. As is clear from the above, these ministers have utterly departed from the founding principles of the Free Presbyterian Church. Far from “maintaining Biblical separation“ and “defending the doctrine of Christ against all error” as they have vowed, they are actively leading their congregations into gross confusion and compromise. In recent days many Free Presbyterian ministers vigorously defended the position of Minister David Park of Ballymoney Free Presbyterian Church who stood by his elder Mervyn Storey in his promotion of transgender ideology in schools across Northern Ireland. Now they are openly and clearly endorsing that which they vowed before Almighty God to oppose. That which the Free Presbyterian Church spent decades fighting against is now being promoted from its pulpits. It has been remarkable to hear Minister for Education Paul Givan laud Charlie Kirk’s “spirit, endeavour and fearless approach”, while he himself promotes LGBTQ+ ideology to every school in Northern Ireland. We urge all those families who love the truth, the purity of the Word of God and the separated stand to come out from under these men. We urge those who wish to protect their children from LGBT ideology to withdraw from these ministers who remain silent as this depravity is forced upon schools. It is time for God’s people to once again take a stand and “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3).

THE DUP ARE SACRIFICING CHILDREN ON THE LGBTQ+ ALTAR - Burke Family Statement from the DUP Conference We attended the DUP conference at the La Mon Hotel on Friday and Saturday last week. On Friday evening we spoke with Minister of Education Paul Givan as he arrived at the DUP Conference dinner and accompanying entertainment. We questioned him on why he, as Minister of Education, is promoting LGBTQ+ ideology to schools across Northern Ireland. Upon arriving at the hotel the following day we approached DUP MLA Jonny Buckley but he quickly disappeared into the building. On both days, shortly after we arrived at the conference, the police were called. It is a low state of affairs when the DUP must resort to the PSNI to protect them from accountability. The current recommended RSE curriculum for Northern Ireland schools contains detailed and extensive material promoting subjects such as transgender ideology, “consent”, and pornography. Paul Givan is recommending that schools at both primary and secondary level establish links with Cara-Friend, an organisation which believes children as young as three can be transgender. These teachings and beliefs represent the demolition of Christian belief. Children who imbibe such ideology in schools will be lost to Christianity, the precise reason why such ideologies are promoted in the first place. On 24 June Nigel Dodds of the DUP attended the Westminster National Prayer Breakfast. Only days previously parliament had passed legislation for the murder of the unborn up to birth as well as the killing of the elderly. At the event Mr Dodds offered a prayer on stage, standing beside and joining in fellowship with MPs who had voted in favour of these evil laws as well as promoting LGBTQI+ ideology. Mr Dodds was joined in prayer by a prominent Catholic priest - Christopher Colven - who is the Catholic Chaplain to the Houses of Parliament. Absolutely nothing was said about the wickedness which had just been sanctioned by many politicians at the event. Such prayers, in this context, are an abomination. Paul Givan recently stated that he had full confidence in every member of the Education Authority. These members include many unionists who have been silent on the promotion of LGBTQ+ ideology. They also include Paul Kavanagh of Sinn Féin who received five life sentences for an IRA nail bombing in the 1980s which killed an 18-year old young man and a 59-year old widow as well as injuring forty others. Mr Kavanagh has thus far also been silent on the Education Authority’s promotion of transgender ideology. The DUP, once the party of faith and morals, are now deniers of Christ. The DUP’s promotion of LGBTQ+ ideology is of course closely linked to the leadership of the Free Presbyterian Church. Mervyn Storey, the Chair of the Education Authority, who was exposed as promoting transgender ideology to schools across Northern Ireland, is an elder in Ballymoney Free Presbyterian Church. He was and is fully supported by his Minister, David Park. In recent days many Free Presbyterian ministers have been loudly eulogising Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated in the United States. They have called for prayer for Mr Kirk’s widow Erika, a wealthy woman who no doubt will have ample support and succour from Cardinals and Bishops of her Roman Catholic Church. These ministers have beaten their breasts and praised Mr Kirk to the heavens for his stand on transgenderism. However, when Enoch Burke was imprisoned for over 500 days and stripped of his livelihood after refusing to bow to transgender ideology in his school, the same ministers were mute. When the call to take a stand came to their own doorstep, they had nothing to say. Indeed, when the gross hypocrisy of Mervyn Storey was exposed, many such ministers were firmly on the other side. Many in Northern Ireland today are asking, what should we do? Some are turning to other parties such as the TUV. The simple fact is, that the TUV were not present on Friday and Saturday at the La Mon hotel to challenge the DUP. Indeed, when the Mervyn Storey revelations were made, we received a growl from many representatives of the TUV. What the Christian people of Northern Ireland must do is challenge their leaders. Challenge Paul Givan on his promotion of LGBTQ+ ideology. Challenge the hypocritical ministers who make grand statements about events far away but are on the other side when a stand is taken on their own doorstep. Do not allow your children, in the words of Scripture, to be “sacrificed to devils” (Psalm 105:37) on the altar of LGBTQ+ ideology. We will continue to challenge. We have absolute confidence that the truth will prevail.

BREAKING: CHAOS AT DUP CONFERENCE AS BURKES EXPOSE LGBT PROMOTER PAUL GIVAN Tonight DUP Minister of Education Paul Givan was confronted for his promotion of LGBTQ+ ideology in schools. The DUP are holding their annual conference this weekend in the La Mon Hotel outside Belfast. Paul Givan commanded the Burkes to enter the hotel with him. Moments later, after he failed to answer questions, the Burkes were told to leave and the police were called to the hotel. Paul Givan, who calls himself a Christian, is promoting the following RSE content to schools as Minister of Education: - Schools must make sure that they increase knowledge and understanding of LGBTQ+ matters - Primary school teachers should “use appropriate terminology and language” - Schools should be proactive in establishing links with local agencies, such as Cara-Friend (a radical LGBTQ+ organisation which believes children as young as 3 can be transgender) - "Effective RSE" can “help to promote a positive view of sexual orientation and gender identity” - Pupils to learn about “terms for LGBTQ+ identities.” Paul Givan recommends primary schools collaborate with the organisation Cara-Friend, which promotes the following: - Use and record preferred names of transgender students - Try to understand and use the correct pronouns - Create a Gay/Straight Alliance for students - Believes children as young as 3 can be transgender. Once the party of faith and morals, the DUP are now deniers of Christ. Free Presbyterian ministers hypocritically eulogise Charlie Kirk, while they themselves turn a blind eye to the promotion of sodomy in all schools in Northern Ireland. Moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church Ian Brown is calling for prayer for Charlie Kirk’s celebrity wife Erika. Erika Kirk is a zealous Roman Catholic and will doubtless have the support of Cardinals, Bishops and priests at this time. Ian Brown, who appears to spend most of his time scouring the internet and knows almost everything about who said what regarding Kirk’s death, calls for prayer for Erika Kirk, but was on the other side when Mervyn Storey’s promotion of transgenderism was exposed.

“PUBERTY BLOCKERS ARE A GODSEND” - Bar Council of Ireland promotes radical trans ideology while barrister Simeon Burke left out in the cold. Simeon Burke is appealing to Law Library members to intervene ahead of the Master confirmation deadline at 5pm this Friday, 19 September 2025. He continues to be prevented from practicing law before the Irish courts. Meanwhile the Law Library, Ireland’s professional association for barristers, is currently promoting the books ‘Trans Like Me’ and ‘Life Isn’t Binary’ to its members. According to these books:    •    It is a ‘toxic myth’ that there are only two genders    •    The binary conception of gender ‘has been a vital feature in the history of patriarchal oppression’    •    Transgenderism should be enshrined in law    •    People should use transgender pronouns (i.e. they/them)    •    Transgender criminals should be housed in the prison of their choice    •    Puberty blockers are a ‘God-send’ and should be made available to children    •    The notion of good or bad and right or wrong is a limited way of thinking we need to move beyond. Meanwhile, Simeon Burke BL – a Christian barrister – continues to be prevented from entering the Law Library and practising law before the Irish Courts. He says: ‘The Law Library should not be a place where only one view is tolerated and where anybody who does not agree with LGBT is banned. I am a Christian. I do believe in right and wrong. I do believe there are only two genders. I should not have to give up that belief to join the Law Library. I do not believe that if you pass your exams, gain the necessary qualifications and are called to the Bar by the Chief Justice, you should be left outside the door of the Law Library as I have been.’

BREAKING: My brother teacher @EnochBurke has been fined €220,000 after refusing to use ‘they/them’ pronouns for a child. This is unprecedented.

BREAKING: TRANS IDEOLOGY COVER-UP - BURKES RESPOND TO EDWIN POOTS IN BELFAST On the evening of Sunday 17 August we visited Hillsborough Free Presbyterian Church and sought to speak with DUP councillor and Education Authority board member Jonathan Craig. The Education Authority, which employs over 40,000 people, is promoting transgender ideology in schools across Northern Ireland as revealed in a 60-page document issued to all schools. There has been deep shock across the country at the revelation that the Chair of the Education Authority is none other than a Free Presbyterian elder, Mervyn Storey. Mr Storey stands on the pulpit of Ballymoney Free Presbyterian Church on a Sunday, then for the rest of his three-day working week for £50,000 a year promotes LGBTQ+ ideology in every school across the country. He is supported in this by his minister, David Park. In a further revelation it had come to light that another board member of the Education Authority, the aforementioned Jonathan Craig, is a member of Hillsborough Free Presbyterian Church. Mr Craig, a Free Presbyterian, has been silent while the organisation he helps to run implements and enforces transgender ideology in every school in Northern Ireland from preschool to secondary level. Only recently Mr Craig stated publicly that “Our children need protection from this madness” - speaking of the gender identity clinic in Belfast. In reality, however, Mr Craig is overseeing the quiet but relentless indoctrination of generations of young people with transgender and LGBTQ+ ideology. The deception being foisted on the public in this manner is appalling. On Sunday evening we were informed that Mr Craig was not at the church. We then asked to speak with Mr Poots, but were told that he had left. We thought this was strange, as Mr Poots had been leading the congregational singing during the meeting. It seems to us that Mr Poots left quickly to avoid meeting with us. Mr Poots has since released a video regarding our visit to Hillsborough Free Presbyterian Church. In his statement Mr Poots said that if we wished to speak to him about “political issues” or to “talk politics”, we should contact his office. We have never had an interest in speaking to Mr Poots about “political issues”. Mr Poots is fully aware of this. We wished to ask Mr Poots how he can walk into the Free Presbyterian church with a man who promotes LGBTQ+ ideology to schoolchildren? How he can back up men who hold the Bible on a Sunday, then advance the LGBTQ+ agenda every other day of the week? How he can lead congregational singing on the Lords Day, while standing over the promotion of transgenderism? A number of years ago there were some objections made to the promotion of transgenderism by a board member of the Education Authority. The member was vehemently opposed by Daniel McCrossan MLA of the SDLP who told him his views were “extreme” and “destructive” and that the member needed to be fully investigated. Colin Houston, Director of the LGBTQ+ group ShoutOut, called for the member to be sacked. This board member subsequently resigned in 2021. He was replaced by Mervyn Storey, who has since been elevated to Chair of the Board. It is clear the board of the Education Authority is vehemently opposed to Christian belief. LGBTQ+ ideology must be affirmed and promoted. It is a disgrace that instead of engaging in this issue Edwin Poots runs away from accountability. We are also alarmed at the number of Free Presbyterian ministers who have come out in support of those who seek to blacken us for raising these issues, including former Moderator Ron Johnstone. We also note the comment by retired Free Presbyterian minister David McIlveen that he “sympathises” with the Burke family. There is something seriously wrong when Mr McIlveen feels pity for people who are doing what he should be doing - calling out the depravity of the Education Authority and it’s accomplices in the Free Presbyterian Church. The Holy Scripture clearly declares that God was angry with the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed those cities with fire and brimstone (Genesis 19). Are the ministers of the Free Presbyterian Church now so politically correct that they are ashamed of God’s sacred truth? We call on all parents to remember the words of the Lord Jesus Christ - “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not” - and hold their politicians and church leaders to account for their silence and complicity on this grave issue.
