Theologian Fired and Threatened as Terrorist for Anti-Homosexuality Tweet
A theologian was fired from a Methodist Bible college in the UK and threatened to be reported as a terrorist due to his tweets opposing homosexuality. Dr. Aaron Edwards was accused of "bringing the college into disrepute" on social media and was suspended from the school pending an investigation. Edwards' case comes amid a global rift among Methodists over the issue of homosexuality and gay clergy, which has led to many congregations in the US leaving the mainline denomination.
