Evangelical leader on Enoch Burke: 'It's a tragedy he created and one he can end'

"A leader of the evangelical church in Ireland has condemned Enoch Burke's "un-Christian", "insulting" and "disruptive" behaviour as the reason for his continued imprisonment, and not his beliefs about gender."

"Pastor Nick Park, the executive director of the Evangelical Alliance Ireland, said Mr Burke's disrespectful treatment of "everyone" is what led to his incarceration."

Enoch Burke, a sacked teacher, remains imprisoned. The evangelical church in Ireland condemned his behaviour as un-Christian, insulting and disruptive. The condemnation identified disrespectful treatment of others as the reason for continued incarceration rather than his beliefs about gender. The response emphasized conduct and interpersonal misconduct as the proximate cause of the disciplinary and legal outcome. The focus was placed on behaviour and respect for others, not on doctrinal or gender-related views, in explaining why the imprisonment has continued.
