Outspoken pastor fired from Free Church of England over social media ministry

Brett Murphy, saying the “nature and tone” of Murphy’s anti-woke YouTube videos, which referred to female priests as “witches,” damaged the church’s reputation. The action by the breakaway Anglican denomination comes despite Murphy’s congregation at Emmanuel, Morecambe, experiencing a dramatic increase from two to 50 worshippers under his guidance.
