Christian Nurse Challenges Discrimination in Health Care
Faith Facts
- Jennifer Melle, a Christian nurse, was suspended for standing by biblical truth on gender.
- The UK Supreme Court reaffirmed the legal recognition of biological sex, yet her case remains unresolved.
- The Royal College of Nursing is deferring action, waiting for new guidance while Melle seeks support rooted in Christian values.
Jennifer Melle has accused the Royal College of Nursing of discrimination after being suspended for following her Christian convictions regarding gender and truth.
She questions why the RCN has delayed, especially since the Supreme Court confirmed the legal importance of biological sex, and urges them to uphold biblical and legal standards.
The Christian Legal Centre supports her as she calls on the nursing body to defend her dignity and religious freedom, not ideological influence.
“I was racially abused in my workplace, and instead of protecting me, the Trust punished me.”
“My Christian faith teaches me that sex is immutable.”
“I should not be forced to deny that truth to keep my job.”
Fellow nurse Bethany Hutchison noted this struggle is broader, impacting women and faith-based truth in the NHS.
“Across the NHS, women are being told to ‘broaden their mindset’ and accept policies that erase biological reality. The Supreme Court has spoken, yet institutions drag their feet.”
Andrea Williams of the CLC stressed the importance of standing for truth and the rule of law in the workplace.
“Jennifer’s case is not just about one nurse, it’s about truth.”
“It’s about common sense.”
“It’s about the freedom to express truth in the workplace.”
Faith-based voices call for courage and action so that truth, dignity, and freedom are restored for all in the healthcare profession. Join us in prayerful support for justice and the protection of biblical values.
