A school chaplain who was sacked and blacklisted by the Anglican hierarchy over a gender-related sermon has won a seven-year battle to be reinstated. 

Bernard Randall was reported to terrorism watchdogs and sacked after addressing the subject of identity politics and transgenderism in 2019.

The 53-year-old claimed senior teachers and officials at Trent College in Nottingham unfairly sacked him after he gave a sermon to students claiming the Church of England viewed marriage as being between biological men and women.

Randall said he made the comments after students questioned the school’s then recently implemented policy on sexual orientation diversity.

He has now overturned a church ruling that had prevented him from preaching.
