 Description: 

 In response to recent and anticipated changes in Canadian law which impact religious freedom and charity law, Christian Legal Fellowship is offering a one-day seminar designed to give pastors, ministry leaders, legal counsel and other interested parties guidance in making wise leadership decisions.  We draw on prominent legal experts, including presenters from the Annual Church & Charity Law™ Seminar, to address key concerns for Christian leaders: freedom of religion and expression, the redefinition of marriage, traditional family, income tax rules concerning political activities, church discipline & Christian counselling, employment issues, sexual abuse issues, as well as other political and legal developments affecting churches. Click here to view previous CL&L seminars & Click here for promotion of this event.
