Across North America Sunday, thousands of Christian pastors preached about biblical sexual morality. Their coordinated messages from the pulpit were spurred by Canadian Bill C-4, an LGBTQ-related law that went into effect January 8.
Many pastors fear that the vague wording of Bill C-4, which passed unanimously, could “criminalize Christianity.” They also warn that threats to religious freedom are quickly spreading throughout Western countries.
Why Canadian Bill C-4 Concerns Christian Pastors
As summarized by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Bill C-4 bans “the despicable and degrading practice of conversion therapy.” The law’s wording declares that such therapy “causes harm” and “propagates myths and stereotypes about sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.” People who use or advertise conversion therapy, as well as those who force someone to undergo it, all face punishment under the law.
