Description
Newspaper clipping titled, "Sikh funeral in Christian church denied," written by Neil Corbett in the Abbotsford News. The article details an incident of Abbotsford's Sevenoaks Alliance Church refusing to allow a Sikh funeral for Jasmer Singh 'Sher' Braich, to take place there. The article includes a discussion with Charan Gill, the CEO of Progressive Intercultural Community Serices in Surrey, who expressed the disappointment of the Sikh community. The article also includes the response from Pastor Lyle Magnus of Sevenoaks Alliance who argued that a Sikh funeral did not fit the facility usage policy and it was unfair to call the church prejudicial.
