Thank you for all your support over the last fortnight. Following last night’s hearing, Wandsworth council have dismissed Duke’s internal appeal, upholding its decision to dismiss him. The Christian Legal Centre will now be taking his case to an Employment Tribunal. More details can be found in Christian Concern for our Nation’s report.

The Christian Legal Centre support many other Christians in similar circumstances. You can find our website at www.christianlegalcentre.com and can get our latest news updates by joining our mailing list.

God bless, Andrea

The day has arrived. Today, Wandsworth Council will decide whether to reinstate Duke, or send out a loud, clear message to its employees that if you talk about God in the workplace you risk losing your job.

Duke is a gentle, hardworking family man who loves his job, working amongst people in need. The Council has acted completely out of proportion, dismissing Duke for gross misconduct, the most serious
category of offence.

If, you can, please come to the prayer vigil outside the council at 4pm today (15 December). But if you can’t make it, please pray with us that
justice, truth and commonsense will prevail.

With only a day to go, thanks again for the encouragement and support we’ve received since the launch of the campaign. Duke has read your messages of support and is deeply grateful for them.

Duke’s hearing is tomorrow at 4pm. Let’s hope and pray that Wandsworth Council will do the right thing and reinstate Duke. Not even the lady who made the complaint against him wanted him to lose his job.

We will be meeting outside Wandsworth Town Hall at 4 pm tomorrow to pray for Duke, and a good decision. Please join us, if you can, and send a message to Wandsworth Council, that employees should be allowed to mention God in the workplace.

God bless,

Andrea

Thank you all again for the wonderful support we are seeing for JusticeforDuke. I hope some of you will have seen the buses now circulating out of Wandsworth advertising the Vigil on the evening of 15th December. Do please let us know if you are coming along – and please bring as many friends as possible on the night.

Great news on the petition – we are now over the 4,000 mark. Thank you so much on behalf of all of us here.

For those of you who can, especially those of you in Wandsworth, do please do all you can to write in to your MPs and generally press on Duke’s behalf.

God bless,

Andrea

Dear All,

Just a quick update and a big thank you – we had over 1,500 signatures added to the Justice for Duke petition in the first day of the campaign. This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much. Please tell all your friends about this and encourage them to add their names too. The more people who express their support for Duke the better. Thank you. God bless. Andrea.

Greetings from Christian Legal Centre and the Justice for Duke Campaign Day 1. I’m pleased to say we are seeing a great swell of interest and support from media and members of the public alike. I’m confident Duke will be greatly encouraged to see the support from so many people. Thank you all. Please do keep coming back to see developments in the campaign and potentially in the case over the days between now and the 15^th. For now, please do sign up for the petition. We really do want to get as many names on there for Duke as we can. And please tell your friends and ask them to do the same. God bless. Andrea
