Religious freedom is now widely accepted as fundamental to any
liberal democracy. It is recognised in domestic, regional, and
international human rights instruments and its importance is lauded
by philosophers, lawyers, judges, clergy, and even politicians.
While it is easy to support religious freedom in the abstract,
tensions can arise between the activities of religious
organizations and the law that challenge this general commitment to
religious freedom. Should religious organizations be permitted to
discriminate against women or gay people in their employment
practices, when admitting members, or in providing goods and
services? Should the courts interfere in these organizations to
protect the interests of a disaffected member or to resolve
internal property disputes? Should the state allow religious
tribunals to determine or advise on family matters? While much has
been written about religious individuals and the law, there has
been a discernible lack of literature on organizations and the law.
Jane Norton fills this gap with Freedom of Religious Organizations.
By exploring potential conflicts between the law and religious
organizations, and examining whether the current British response
to such conflicts is justified, this book will consider when
English law ought to apply to religious organizations and how these
conflicts should be dealt with.
