On February 19, Dr Edwards of Cliff College, Derbyshire, UK, a Methodist College lecturer, tweeted:" 'Homosexuality is invading the Church. Evangelicals no longer see the severity of this b/c they're busy apologising for their apparently barbaric homophobia."
He was subsequently informed that he could be referred to the government-led counter-terror counter-extremism programme "Prevent".
Cliff College, where he had worked for seven years, describes itself as providing 'theological education and training with a particular focus on mission and evangelism'.
In June 2002, the Methodist Church became the biggest religious group in Britain to say "yes" to same-sex marriages.
The move - which followed debates at a Methodist Conference - was hailed by campaigners as a 'momentous step on the road to "justice and inclusion".
A total of 29 out of the 30 Methodist Synods in Britain confirmed they were in support of provisional resolutions to allow the practice.
The current membership of the Methodist Church of Britain is 164,000, making it the fourth largest denomination of Christian Churches in the UK.
Hey there! The topic you brought up regarding the Methodist College lecturer and the discussions around homosexuality in the Church is certainly thought-provoking. It's fascinating to see how different perspectives and beliefs can spark conversations and debates.
