Lessons from the Christian Horizons case

A very interesting analysis by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada's legal counsel Don Hutchinson (my bolds):

One of my close friends was on the board of Christian Horizons when the first human rights complaints against the organization arose in the early 1990s.
