We covered this case last semester:
In what may be its most significant religious liberty decision in two decades, the Supreme Court on Wednesday for the first time recognized a “ministerial exception” to employment discrimination laws, saying that churches and other religious groups must be free to choose and dismiss their leaders without government interference.
The decision was unanimous. This means that a church can discriminate against its employees, as long as the employee can be claimed to be a minister.
