What is the impact of disclosing sexual orientation in a church?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from F.S.M. v. Clarke, 1999 CanLII 9405 (BC SC):

Moses v. Diocese of Colorado, supra provides an interesting comparative case on the facts. It was the failure of the bishop to act after the disclosure and undertaking to do so that led to a breach of fiduciary duty. This was done to promote secrecy about the issue within the church. While the actions of the bishop were more detailed and direct that here, the case is helpful to an appreciation that the conduct of religious personnel is not only about pure spirituality as was suggested before me. Further, it shows that undertakings made within the religious realm can have implications within fiduciary relations.
