Evangelical and Catholic Groups Call for Curbs on Human Rights Commission after Anti-Christian Ruling
John Henry-Westen reports on LifeSiteNews.com:
The editor of Canada’s national Catholic magazine of news, opinion and analysis, Father Alphonse de Valk, has renewed his call for the federal government to rein in the far-reaching powers of human rights commissions in Canada. The move comes in light of the recent ruling by the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) in the case of Christian Horizons, a service organization for the disabled . . .
The OHRC on April 15 decided that, because Christian Horizons required a former employee to sign a Lifestyle and Morality Statement that prohibited homosexual relationships, Christian Horizons must: pay lesbian Connie Heintz two years’ wages and $23,000; no longer require its employees to sign a lifestyle and morality statement; develop ‘anti-discrimination’ policies; provide ‘training’ to all employees and managers; and review all of its employment policies to ensure they are in compliance with the Ontario Human Rights Code . . .
Don Hutchinson, General Legal Counsel for the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, was also incensed with the decision . . .
