Our American and international readers will certainly be interested in what happens in our City of Toronto. You may think twice about visiting here and spending your money. I am writing that because this post is going to be sent to Mayor John Tory to protest the disgraceful and constitutionally illegal banning of a Christian music festival from a city square.
Here is the story.
Toronto bans music festival from city square over Christian songs
TORONTO, October 29, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- The City of Toronto is refusing to grant a Christian group a permit to use a prominent downtown square for its annual musical festival next year, because the city has decided that singing the name of Jesus in the public venue contravenes city policy against “proselytizing.”
Voices of the Nations (VON) has been using city property since 2006 for an annual “multi denominational” event in which it celebrates Christianity through live music and dance. It has been using the Yonge-Dundas Square without issue for the past five years. This year’s August 1 event attracted 19 different performance acts, including children’s choirs and popular Christian bands, where well-known ‘praise-and-worship’ songs such as “Days Of Elijah” are performed.
