Discrimination, Language And Freedom Of Religion: Two Important Law And Religion Decisions In Australia, Neil J. Foster

Neil J Foster

The paper discusses two important recent cases at an appellate level in Australia raising issues to do with the intersection of law and religious commitment. One deals with discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation and whether religious groups should enjoy religious freedom to decline to support a non-Biblical view of sexual morality. The other deals with whether the members of a church can assert religious freedom rights against the leaders of the church.
