Former student says gov’t-funded church school staff said being gay was wrong

“And if it wasn’t for the fear of hell instilled in me by the church and kind of what came afterwards, I probably would have killed myself.”

He told Global News there was no separation between the school and the church, that everything he learned at FAFC was either echoed or accepted at PCA. Hamilton told Global News he was brought to another church leader, Barb Rudoski, to pray the gay away. Global News obtained most of the inspection reports going back to 2011 using freedom of information legislation. The 2011 report, the last conducted before school started to receive government funds in 2012, shows the school used curricula from the Saskatchewan Association of Independent Church Schools .

Instead, an email from “Directors of Faith Alive Ministries” sent a message, stating “Our counsel has instructed us to remind you we are a Christian, faith-based school entitled by law and under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to teach our students love of God out of a theological, anthropological, and moral perspective derived exclusively from what we sincerely hold as Biblical truth. That is what we do. That is what we have always done.”The statement did not deny Hamilton’s allegations.

The document also says one in 12 straight students report being verbally harassed about their perceived sexual orientation.
