Their decision comes after a local atheist applied for the position in the college after being ordained as a minister within a non-Christian church back in May.

In response he applied for the role as an Ordained Minister in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He did so “such that any attempt to award the role to a Catholic Bishop without tender, would be discriminating against me on a sectarian basis.”

Having applied for the chaplain’s position, the college responded to him this week suggesting they would change their policy to tender for the role for the first time.
