SCM speaks out on homophobia at York University

SCM York, supported by the General Board of SCM Canada, has been at the frontlines this week of a case of Christian-based homophobia at York University.

The country’s attention was brought upon York recently following the announcement of a “prayer service for the homosexual community of York University” hosted by Campus for Christ at York University.

After pressure from a coalition of groups, including SCM York, Campus for Christ canceled its “prayer service for the homosexual community of York University” event and issued an apology and retraction. SCM, with the coalition, wrote a letter of complaint to the University, as well as a letter inviting dialogue with the Christian organization. We are continuing to monitor this situation.
