Ian Mulgrew has written a Vancouver Sun article about today’s Appeal Court ruling against the B.C. Law Society and in support of TWU’s law school.
"B.C.’s top court has set up a Supreme
Court of Canada showdown between the fundamental freedoms of religion and
equality by giving a ringing endorsement to a proposed evangelical law school.In a stinging defeat for the legal
profession’s governing body, the B.C. Court of Appeal said the Law Society of
B.C. failed to balance important rights under the Charter of Rights and
Freedoms by denying Trinity Western University accreditation for the planned
school.
I am on a mailing list, and this morning my inbox held this communique from Dr. Carson Pue. I have affinity for Trinity Western University which maintains impeccable educational standards within the context of Christian heritage and values. Because it has met Universities Canada’s standards for decades, and because McLeans magazine has annually cited TWU for excellence, the reported amendment to Universities Canada’s bylaws is deliberately shocking. The proposal would affect all faith-based institutions. Read Dr. Pue’s statement.
