A Christian music festival has been given the boot by the board of Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto for what it says is a violation of its rules against proselytizing.
“A Christian music festival is crying foul over a decision by the board of Yonge-Dundas Square to cancel its permit for 2016 because of claims the group violated terms of its contract by proselytizing,” Inside Toronto reported on Nov. 3.
“The festival, Voices of the Nations, has been using the publicly owned square for nearly a decade for what festival director Peter Ruparelia said is a showcase for the music of artists from various denominations and cultures, but the group is no longer welcome, according to local councilor and board-member Kristyn Wong-Tam, because it has ignored repeated warnings by the board not to use the stage to proselytize a particular religion,” the news outlet reported.
“‘I’m not at liberty to get into the specifics of the reason why they’re not welcome back to the square,’ Wong-Tam told the news outlet.

no but we can allow 'satan worshipers', or any thing else evil and demented to entertain our youth. this is just stupid.
ReplyDeleteThis action will not prevent an ISIS attack on Canada.I am sick of people scratching their heads wondering why is this and why is that.The fact that North America feels compelled to pacify extremists should be offensive to all of us.Any denial of Christianity clearly indicates we are running scared with our tails between our legs.
