Book Synopsis Freedom of Religious Organizations by : Jane Calderwood Norton
Download or read book Freedom of Religious Organizations written by Jane Calderwood Norton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 The 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.

This book offers local and global proposals for the study and practice of improving financial transparency for religious organizations, and assessing and curbing monetary crimes within their ranks. A sampling of criminal cases of financial wrongdoing by churches and temples spotlights the ingenuity involved in such scams as well as in the ongoing fight against them. Included in the coverage: • Religious freedom in the U.S. and Brazilian constitutional orders • Government regulation of religious organizations • Criminal investigations and cases involving financial crimes practiced by and through religious institutions • International religious activities and legal cooperation for repatriation of assets • Payments through illegal and disguised means, and the misuse of churches, temples, and charitable organizations •Proposals to improve the war against financial crimes within temples and churches Its unique subject matter and depth of information makes Churches, Temples, and Financial Crimes distinctly useful for professionals involved in efforts to curb this form of crime, particularly law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, and judges.

Book Synopsis Law and Religion in the Commonwealth by : Renae Barker
Download or read book Law and Religion in the Commonwealth written by Renae Barker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines law and religion from the perspective of its case law. Each chapter focuses on a specific case from a Commonwealth jurisdiction, examining the history and impact of the case, both within the originating jurisdiction and its wider global context. The book contains chapters from leading and emerging scholars from across the Commonwealth, including from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Pakistan, Malaysia, India and Nigeria. The cases are divided into four sections covering: - Foundational Questions in Law and Religion - Freedom of Religion around the Commonwealth - Religion and state relations around the Commonwealth - Rights, Relationships and Religion around the Commonwealth. Like religion itself, the case law covers a wide spectrum of life. This diversity is reflected in the cases covered in this book, which include: - Titular Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur v Home Minister on the use of the Muslim name for God by non-Muslims in Malaysia - The Church of the New Faith v Commissioner of Pay-roll Tax (Vic) which determined the meaning of religion in Australia - Eweida v UK which clarified the application of Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights - R v Big M Drug Mart on the individual protections of religious freedom under the Canadian Charter of Rights. The book examines how legal disputes involving religion are among the most contested in the courts and shows that in these cases, passions run high and the outcomes can have significant consequences for all involved.

Book Synopsis Law and Religion, Cases and Materials by : LESLIE C.. SEIDEL GRIFFIN (ANDREW L.)
Download or read book Law and Religion, Cases and Materials written by LESLIE C.. SEIDEL GRIFFIN (ANDREW L.) and published by Foundation Press. This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth edition adds a new author. Andrew L. Seidel is a constitutional attorney that has spent a decade litigating religion clause cases. He''s author of The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American and American Crusade: How the Supreme Court Is Weaponizing Religious Freedom and Vice President of Strategic Communications at Americans United for Separation of Church and State. This edition was updated to include important new Supreme Court cases on state funding of churches and the religious freedom issues associated with COVID. The fifth edition continues the book''s interdisciplinary approach to law and religion, its student-friendly notes and questions, and its inclusion of numerous non-Supreme Court cases from a variety of state, federal, and international courts. The chapters highlight the impact of the Court''s most recent cases on the subject matter of law and religion. 1. Free Exercise of Religion identifies the ever-increasing diversity of American religion versus non-religion. It includes United States v. Seeger, as a lead conscientious objection case explaining what the Court means by "religion." 2. Introduction to Establishment includes the Court''s decision upholding government-sponsored prayer in Town of Greece v. Galloway, and asks how Establishment Clause jurisprudence has changed since Galloway. 3. What is an Establishment of Religion? examines establishment precedents about religious symbols and monuments, public funding of religion, and religious speech. The chapter includes the American Legion case upholding the peace cross on public property. It focuses on the Court''s recent approaches to the funding of religion in Trinity Lutheran Church v. Pauley, Espinoza v. Montana, and Carson v. Makin. 4. Constitutional and Statutory Protection of Free Exercise provides extensive coverage of the Court''s free exercise case, Smith, and its interpretation in Fulton v. Philadelphia, which upheld religious freedom to discriminate against LGBTQ parents. It then reviews the Court''s RFRA decisions, RLUIPA cases, and the new law about religion and COVID. 5. Conscience, Complicity, and Conscientious Objection relates Hobby Lobby to the Court''s order searching a compromise between religious nonprofits and the government in Zubik v. Burwell, and the expansion of the contraceptive mandate in Little Sisters of the Poor. This chapter explores military, medical, and legal conscientious objection and analyzes the increasing number of complicity claims faced by courts hearing RFRA cases. It also includes the case of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. 6. Conflicts between Individual and Institutional Religious Freedom explores the Court''s increasing protection of institutional over individual religious freedom by looking at three topics: church property disputes, employment discrimination, and torts. The employment discrimination section includes an overview of Title VII''s religious discrimination provisions and the Court''s decision interpreting them in EEOC v. Abercrombie and Fitch. The chapter also explores in detail the repercussions of Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC, and the new ministerial exception case, Morrissey-Berru, to see what freedom religions enjoy in the employment setting. 7. Comparative Religious Freedom includes cases from other countries that parallel the subjects already studied in earlier chapters of the casebook. A section on religious garb, including a Turkish case about hijab bans, recalls Abercrombie. A section on blasphemy connects to the free (religious) speech jurisprudence. Conscience receives extensive treatment because it has become so important in U.S. law. Chapter 8 includes Bayatyan v. Armenia, in which the European Court of Human Rights recognized a religious freedom right to military conscientious objection for a Jehovah''s Witness who objected to military service. It also presents a British case similar in reasoning to the Kentucky clerk''s case, Miller v. Davis. And it introduces a case that has been described as "Australia''s Hobby Lobby." Thus we consider the role of religious exemptions in international law. 8. Religion and Politics focuses on same-sex marriage, exploring the role that presidents'' and justices'' religion played in the marriage equality discussion. The majority opinion and dissents from Obergefell v. Hodges are highlighted; all the justices'' opinions referred to religion. The tax section includes the constant debates about tax law''s restrictions on political activity. 9. Teaching about Religion and Science includes efforts to add religion classes and remove evolution from public schools. 10. The Old and New Law of Religion contrasts the Court''s treatment of the traditional Amish faith in Yoder with updated information about the Nones'' religious identity and political activity. The Nones are the fastest-growing "religious" group in the United States.
Book Synopsis Religion and Politics in America [2 volumes] by : Frank J. Smith
Download or read book Religion and Politics in America [2 volumes] written by Frank J. Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 961 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has always been an intricate relationship between religion and politics. This encyclopedia provides a comprehensive overview of the interrelation of religion and politics from colonial days to the present. Can a judge display the Ten Commandments outside of the courthouse? Can a town set up a nativity scene on the village green during Christmas? Should U.S. currency bear the "In God We Trust" motto? Should public school students be allowed to form bible study groups? Controversies about the separation of church and state, the proper use of religious imagery in public space, and the role of religious beliefs in public education are constantly debated. This work offers insights into contemporary controversies regarding the uneasy intersections of religion and politics in America. Organized alphabetically, the entries place each topic in its proper historical context to help readers fully grasp how religious beliefs have always existed side by side—and often clashed with—political ideals in the United States from the time of the colonies. The information is presented in an unbiased manner that favors no particular religious background or political inclination. This work shows that politics and religion have always had an impact on one another and have done so in many ways that will likely surprise modern students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purchase of this ebook edition does not entitle you to receive access to the Connected eBook on CasebookConnect. You will need to purchase a new print book to get access to the full experience including: lifetime access to the online ebook with highlight, annotation, and search capabilities, plus an outline tool and other helpful resources. The First Amendment: Cases and Theory, Fourth Edition is a comprehensive and up to date First Amendment casebook that covers freedom of speech, freedom of association, and religious liberties. The First Amendment: Cases and Theory, Fourth Edition, uses the case method to elucidate theory and doctrine. In an area rife with multi-factor tests, mastery of First Amendment theory and doctrine requires more than rote memorization of three- and four-part tests; it requires a firm foundation in the underlying theories and purposes that animate the Supreme Court’s decisions. No less important, the casebook also includes Theory Applied Problems at the end of each major section. These Theory Applied Problems provide an easy and convenient means to assess students’ mastery of the relevant theories and precedents. The editors also have included carefully targeted coverage of how other constitutional democracies, such as Canada and Germany, have reached very different conclusions regarding the scope and meaning of expressive freedom. All major contemporary free expression and religious liberty controversies receive coverage, with helpful notes to answer student questions and deepen their understanding of the subject areas. The First Amendment: Cases and Theory is a highly teachable casebook suitable for a standard three-hour survey of the First Amendment, but also for more focused courses on the Speech, Press, Assembly Clauses, and the Religion Clauses. New to the 4th Edition: Revised chapters on basic free speech doctrines including “low value” speech, content neutrality, symbolic conduct, and freedom of association Addition of recent major Supreme Court decisions on free expression, free exercise of religion, and the Establishment Clause Consideration of how social media affects freedom of expression Professors and students will benefit from: Completely revised and updated coverage – including coverage of the Supreme Court’s major First Amendment decisions since publication of the Third Edition Comprehensive coverage of contemporary major free speech and religious freedom controversies that are likely to generate future landmark Supreme Court precedents in the years to come Suitable for adoption in comprehensive First Amendment survey courses as well as more narrowly focused courses on the Speech, Press, and Assembly Clauses or the Religion Clauses The perspective of Tim Zick, a noted expert on freedom of expression, as a new casebook coauthor Covers cutting edge free speech controversies such as sexting, revenge porn, racist trademarks, government speech, and student speech rights in the age of the internet Places doctrinal developments into a coherent historical narrative that shows the evolving nature of First Amendment doctrine Includes targeted coverage of free speech rules in foreign jurisdictions that have considered, but rejected, the U.S. approach in important areas such as libel, hate speech, national security, and sexually explicit speech Reorganized and updated coverage of foundational free speech and association doctrines Completely reorganized and updated coverage of the Religion Clauses Includes up-to-date coverage of the growing conflicts over religious exemptions to anti-discrimination laws for individuals, churches, and businesses. Includes dedicated coverage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and state RFRAs Presents the “Lemon,” “endorsement,” “coercion,” and “history and tradition” tests for Establishment Clause challenges Separation of church and state cases in multiple areas from vouchers to creationism in schools to government sponsored Latin crosses to legislative prayers. Provides comprehensive coverage of the First Amendment in a casebook that can still be taught cover-to-cover in a standard three-hour survey course format without requiring the instructor to make selective coverage decisions
