NG KERK RE-EMPLOYS FIRED GAY MUSIC TEACHER
An Eastern Cape branch of the NG Kerk has employed a music teacher who won a court battle against the Pretoria branch for firing him for being gay.
In August 2008, the Moreleta Park NG Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) was ordered to apologise and pay damages to Johan Strydom for firing him in 2005 from the church’s arts academy because of his sexuality.
Now, the Rapport newspaper reports that Strydom, who moved to Jeffreys Bay, has been offered his job back, but this time at the NG Kerk in Kareedouw in the Eastern Cape.
While Strydom received an apology and R87 000 in damages last year, he told Rapport that “It was rather the hand a small community like Kareedouw extended to me that rekindled my faith in the NG Kerk and in people.”
Speaking on Talk Radio 702 last year, Strydom said: “I am a homosexual Christian and I don’t have a problem with that.”
Reinstament of Gay arts teacher. Congratulations to the Kareedouw NG Church, I am most thankful for those type of Christian communities, that can show that they are the true Christian of this world we live in, and a huge shame on you to the morelleta church with all there pretentious church goers, and apologies to those who did not supported there un Christ like behavior although they advocate that like most Christian churches, i would rather not associate myself with Christian and rather be a true follower of the true Christ Teaching and a higher understanding of it than those commercial charismatic happy crappies, never thought i would use that terminology but to my discuss and realization that is exactly what it is, unconsciousness of the ultimate truth of Christ.
There is still so much to say about there outrages behavior.
May they soon come to awareness and Worship a true and omni present God
