The courts ruled in favour of TWU in two of the three cases. Two decisions were appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, one for and one against TWU. Those two cases will be heard on November 30 and December 1 in Ottawa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why pray?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Regardless of outcomes, Christians are enjoined by Scripture to pray for authorities and that the Church may live in peace and godliness (1 Timothy 2).<\/li>\n<li>At the heart of the issue is the place of religion in Canadian public life. Can government bodies refuse to accredit or recognize Christian or other religious institutions that meet all the required standards?<\/li>\n<li>A decision against TWU could mean that a religious institution can no longer maintain community expectations, and thereby erode their religious distinctiveness. A negative decision may not only potentially trigger a tightening of restrictions on other Canadian Christian institutions of higher learning, but also restrict other religious organizations that ask its memebrs to live counter-culturally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Let\u2019s unite as individuals, small groups, congregations, and denominations on Sunday, November 26 to pray with one heart and mind.<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Let\u2019s pray together for our leaders, as Scripture exhorts us. Let\u2019s pray for wisdom and insight for the judges, the\u00a0lawyers and the interveners on both sides in the TWU case.<\/li>\n<li>Let\u2019s earnestly pray for the provincial\u00a0and federal governments of Canada, that they would know God\u2019s wisdom and govern with insight and compassion for all the citizens of Canada.<\/li>\n<li>Let\u2019s pray for the churches of Canada, that we would be compassionate and godly citizens representing Jesus Christ well, even as our country\u00a0changes around us.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, let\u2019s pray that 1) the Supreme\u00a0Court of Canada will rule that there is no valid reason that TWU law schools should not be accredited, and 2) that the precedent that is set will be one for religious freedom in Canada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>A reminder of what could be at stake:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The accreditation and recognition of religious institutions in Canada.<\/li>\n<li>The freedom of religious institutions (churches, schools, camps, missions, etc.) to maintain their religious character and purposes.<\/li>\n<li>The future of professional training programs run by Christian institutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are going to join in prayer, email us at <a href=\"mailto:mail@cccc.org\">mail@cccc.org<\/a> to let us know, or post your participation at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CCCCCharities\/\">facebook.com\/CCCCCharities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>This day of prayer is an initiative of The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and the Canadian Council of Christian Charities.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, November 26 is a day set apart to pray for the successful resolution of the Trinity Western University (TWU) case, which will be heard in the Supreme Court of Canada on November 30 and December 1.
