Reaction to Supreme Court Decision in Trinity Western University Case
The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that law societies in British Columbia and Ontario can deny accreditation to a proposed law school of a private Christian university in B.C. The law societies both denied accreditation due to Trinity Western University's requirement for students to sign a community covenant that does not recognize same-sex marriage.
Janet Epp Buckingham (a professor at Trinity Western University), André Schutten (who was an intervener in the case on behalf of the Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) Canada) and Andrew Bennett (director of the Cardus Religious Freedom Institute) speak with reporters in the foyer of the Supreme Court about the decision.
