Victoria Religious Tolerance Act in News Again
The controversial Racial and Religious Tolerance Act enacted in 2002 by the Australian state of Victoria has just become more controversial. CNSNews.com reports Monday that a prison inmate serving a sentence for sexually abusing two teenagers charges in a new suit that a course offered in the prison on the basics of Christianity endangers his health and safety. The prisoner, Robin Fletcher, describes himself as a "witch" and objects to the treatment of witchcraft in the program offered by Salvation Army chaplains.
