Factum Filed At British Columbia Court of Appeal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday, our agents in Vancouver filed our factum at the BCCA in the matter of Trinity Western University and the Law Society of British Columbia. The hearing is scheduled for June 1-3, 2016 in Vancouver. Our factum outlines our concerns about institutional religious freedom raised by this case. In summary,  we argue that the LSBC\u2019s decision amounts to nothing less than a rejection of Canada\u2019s jealously and expansively protected religious freedoms. It strikes a devastating blow to the very heart of religious civil society and has the effect of reducing the rich tapestry of Canadian society to a monochromatic banner of uniformity. The long-term preservation of freedom, diversity, integrity, and Canada\u2019s social capital requires the law to be willing to accept differences of belief and practice on such controversial issues as marriage.<\/p>\n
