The EFC to Intervene in Case on Church Freedom From Court Review

The EFC will be intervening at the Supreme Court of Canada along with the Catholic Civil Rights League in a new case, Wall v. Judicial Committee of the Highwood Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The case concerns whether Canadian courts should intervene in the internal decisions of churches regarding membership and discipline. It will be heard in early November.
