Aylmer Church of God

Aylmer Church of God Corporal Punishment Case Standoff

A child welfare agency's bid to stop Aylmer Church of God pastor Henry Hildebrandt from counseling two members of his congregation on corporal punishment issues was rejected by Ontario family court judge Michael O'Dea.

The agency also asked O'Dea to find the couple in contempt of court over a statement they released to the media indicating their religious beliefs stopped them from complying further with a court order that prohibits physical discipline until the case is resolved. The judge rejected both applications, but ordered everyone involved in the controversial case to stop talking to the media. He also ordered the parents to prevent their children from being contacted by reporters and from receiving electronic mail from supporters outside their congregation.

The couple's seven children, aged six to 14, were removed kicking and screaming from their home last summer by social workers supported by police. Two weeks later, a judge ordered the children released, pending a final court decision last fall. One of the terms of release was a temporary prohibition on physical discipline. But autumn came and went without a decision, prompting Hildebrandt to announce last month—with support from his church's international council—that he was no longer advising the parents to comply with the spanking prohibition. The couple released a statement of their own, indicating the restriction infringed on their personal religious convictions and they could no longer comply. (Christian Week Online, 1/22/02, Internet)
