Talking about religious arbitration.

I'm all for it!

Post a word to the wise bonnie knox
"Yet some lawyers and plaintiffs said that for some groups, religious arbitration may have less to do with honoring a set of beliefs than with controlling legal outcomes. Some religious organizations stand by the process until they lose, at which point they turn to the secular courts to overturn faith-based judgments, according to interviews and court records."

WOW, that was enlightening. I have never thought of it before, but I bet if I was still in construction I would have never ordered cabinets from my cabinet man with a religious clause, I knew his reputation. LOL

I am not sure I do agree with this. I have heard of all kinds of callings, but never the Lord calling some one to dedicate themselves to arbitration. I am not saying it doesn't happen, I am saying I certainly have never heard of it. Shocked

Why not just a Christian Lawyer? (some say that is a contradiction of terms)
Called to Construct Church Buildings?
Called to be Christian TAxi Drivers in NYC?

I'm too old fashioned, I don't even believe in an 'evil spirit of Pot'. Embarassed

Agreed. This gives me the willies, and not because I don't want to settle every dispute I possibly can according to the Word of God. (I do.)

How does this differ from Sharia courts? We say we want to outlaw those, but in reality isn't this the same thing (at least to the point that Sharia itself breaks the law). Golf Cart Mafia Capo Famiglia

No different.

But I am glad this rule exists.

It allows Christians to live like Christians.

I agree, and if the so-called Sharia courts don't break US laws, then maybe they are ok too. I do see several inconsistencies in the mother's arguments in this article. Seems obvious she was an indulgent and enabling mother, and the father seems obviously absent from the picture. I feel sad for the son, but if this lady entered into this agreement she knew full well what Teen Challenge stands for.
