There’s an imminent and largely unnoticed crisis facing Canadian churches: the potential removal of religious institutions’ tax-exempt status.
Jonathon delves into the recent report from the Standing Committee on Finance and its recommendation to remove charitable status from organizations that exist for the “advancement of religion.”
He breaks down the strategies used by the media and activists to push a specific narrative, and looks at a particularly interesting government-funded report “exploring experiences of religious-based homophobia & transphobia in places of worship.”
