According to the latest Barnabas Fund newsletter:
The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) met this morning (21/4/05) to consider a call to ban Alpha, the well known introductory course to Christianity.
Robin Fletcher, a self described witch, called for the ban under the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act passed in the state of Victoria in 2001. This is the same law that pastors Daniel Scot and Danny Nalliah were convicted under for “inciting hatred” in December 2004. In that case it was hatred against Muslims; in this case, Fletcher claims, it is hatred against witches. “It constitutes a personal danger to my health and safety within the prison system,” he said, citing negative references to witchcraft in the course material. He is currently serving a 10 year prison sentence for sexually abusing two teenage girls.
