- Notes
- "[By] David Blaikie and Diana Ginn".
- Includes bibliographical references and index.
- "The authors provide an excellent primer on the impact of the law on religious denominations -- their members and employees -- in the common-law provinces of Quebec. It is an explanation of the civil law as it has developed through court decisions, as modified and supplemented by statutory laws. 'The Legal Guide for Canadian Churches' is not a survey of the ecclesiastical courts of the various denominations, but rather an explanation of how church courts must meet the requirements of human rights codes and administrative law requiring due process and fairness". -- Foreword, p. 15.
