Law and religion: Faith in courts

As the season of goodwill fades, an old problem returns: religious disputes that draw in secular courts
PULSES rarely race in Shaughnessy, a genteel, old-money district of Vancouver where mature cedars shield mansions with giant drawing-rooms. But the splendid Anglican church there, which draws worshippers from across the city, is the centre of a dispute that arises in many countries: how should judges rule in religious rows? Usually such quarrels involve worldly goods and rival claims to be the true believers. They quickly raise theological issues normally settled in church councils, not the courtroom.
St John’s Shaughnessy is the largest of four conservative parishes in British Columbia that have quit Canada’s mainstream Anglican (Episcopalian) church in protest against the blessing of same-sex unions. They want to take their churches and their other property with them; their bishop is resisting. …

A winter’s tale
December 17th, 2010 |
No Comments
Sitting here in wintry Britain as the country braces itself for yet another weekend onslaught of heavy snow, it comes as small comfort to know other countries are experiencing similar challenges.
We Brits love a weather story – and equally love to bash our government for its total lack of preparedness/grit/salt/snowploughs – take your pick.
You can’t move at the moment for TV and newspaper stories of people being stranded in their homes as 1cm of snow ‘drifts’ against the kerb, while reporters are dispatched to bravely stand by freezing roads and denounce the government of the day’s woeful lack of planning.
Never mind the fact that normally the UK is a temperate climate more used to grey, damp days than an Arctic blasts, but nonetheless it gives us a good excuse for a weather moan.
But what’s this? Last week saw airports in Germany – of all places – reportedly disrupted due to lack of de-icer, while their French counterparts have more than 500 people on stand-by to deal with exceptional winter weather this weekend.
In the auto world, even Michigan and South Canada – two places where our weather in the UK would probably merit no more than putting on a jumper – have succumbed to scenes normally reminiscent of those closer to here.
Ford and GM reported supply problems as the mercury dived to -13C – or 9F in old money – and Canada’s emergency services were mobilised to rescue stranded drivers.
Just-in-time operations will inevitably come under greater strain when the temperature falls, but it was surprising to see so much disruption in areas that are so used to weather.
Britain is an island in the North Sea, it’s not Florida, so we’ll get weather, albeit usually wet and mild. South Canada, well that’s another story.
