Is the Christian Legal Society?s loss a loss for everyone?

ADVERTISEMENTS

Alec Hill, president of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, writing at Christianity Today: "As president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA?and as a former professor of law?I have concerns about how this decision may impact our 860 chapters and other campus ministries. ... Two factors make this decision particularly disconcerting. First, despite the technical narrowness of the holding, the majority opinion contains sweeping language in support of antidiscrimination policies?particularly as related to religious beliefs and sexual orientation?and in affording broad latitude to university administrators. The second major disappointment rests in Justice Kennedy's concurrence. Considered the swing vote on the court, he compares CLS's requirement that all members sign its statement of faith with a political loyalty oath. His conclusion?'the era of loyalty oaths is behind us'?is both a disturbing misunderstanding of faith statements and an odd blurring of spiritual and political spheres."
