School row, Christian worker settles discrimination case

Written by Super User 19 May 2010

A school receptionist, Jennie Cain, who sued her employers for religious discrimination after a row over her Christian faith has reached an out-of-court settlement. Mrs Cain, who was suspended for nearly four months last year before receiving a written warning, lodged a complaint with Exeter employment tribunal. The case was due to be heard at the end of last month, but the school council and Mrs Cain came to a financial agreement on Tuesday. They said all parties ‘jointly acknowledge that all faiths, including Christianity, must be treated equally and with sensitivity while also recognising the freedom of ‘individuals to hold, talk and write about their beliefs. My family and I look forward to getting on with our lives and putting this matter behind us’. She has decided to resign from the school.

Pray: for Jennie as she tries to return to normal life after this difficult time and having resigned her post. (Eze.37:14)
