The article develops an idea of justice based on Nicholas Wolterstorff's idea of claim-rights of vulnerable groups that have been wronged, and applies this to the security and recognition of LGBT students in Christian schools.

The article argues that doing justice means welcoming LGBT students, and ends with a description of what that might entail in Christian schools. |
