Edinburghâs Usher Hall | ADF International
Facing a full hearing of a lawsuit, the Edinburgh city council agreed to apologize and pay over $35,000 (£25,000) to the Scotland-based Destiny Church for canceling a three-day conference because its keynote speaker, U.S. Pastor Larry Stockstill, had spoken against homosexuality and abortion.
Apart from offering to pay the damages, the council has acknowledged that it had âfailed to meet its equalities duties to Destiny Ministries in terms of the Equality Act 2010 and therefore acted unlawfully,â and that it had failed to take account of Destinyâs rights as protected by the European Convention on Human Rights, Christian legal firm ADF U.K. said in a statement.
