LTRP Note:<\/strong> After you read this article about the dilemma in which Canada’s Trinity Western University finds itself, you can read about the history of Trinity Western University’s fight to have a law school in Canada and yet still maintain that marriage is between a man and a woman here<\/a>.\u00a0 Also worth noting, TWU is listed as a contemplative\/emerging Christian college on the Lighthouse Trails college list<\/a>.

\u201cAccording to the Bible, sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage between one man and one woman, and within that marriage bond it is God\u2019s intention that it be enjoyed as a means for marital intimacy and procreation,\u201d the university policy reads.
