ADF to Appeal Decision Against Wrongly Fired Ga. Counselor

By ADF Alliance Alert

The Church Report: "Alliance Defense Fund attorneys will appeal a judge?s ruling against a licensed counselor fired after she referred a person seeking same-sex relationship counseling to a colleague . . . 'A counselor who is a Christian shouldn?t lose her job for upholding the highest professional standards,' said ADF Senior Counsel Brian Raum. 'It is unlawful to punish Marcia for following her Christian faith, particularly when she made every effort to accommodate the needs of a potential client. Referring her to another competent counselor instead of attempting to offer her own counsel in such a situation was the ethical thing to do for the person seeking help. It?s egregious to be fired for honoring professional and ethical obligations, and we regret the court didn?t see this. We will certainly appeal.'"
