Lisa Bildy was called to the Ontario bar in 1995. She received an award for her leadership and commitment to the community legal clinic at Western, and a prize for attaining the highest standing in Criminal Law Practice at the London Bar Admission Course. In 2017, Lisa learned of the Law Society of Ontario’s new requirement that lawyers sign a Statement of Principles undertaking to promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in all aspects of their lives, as a condition of practicing law. Recognizing this as an affront to freedom of conscience, belief and expression, she led a successful campaign, known as StopSOP, to elect to the Law Society a slate of lawyers who were committed to repealing this requirement. Lisa believes that the protection of individual rights and freedoms is essential to human flourishing and a civil society. She works with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms to protect those freedoms.

Proclaiming Justice to The Nations’ (PJTN) global mission is to educate Christians about their biblical responsibility to stand with their Jewish brethren and all Israel against the rise of anti-Semitism. In her capacity as UN Special Envoy for the WCICC, her main focus is advising Christian Ambassadors, Delegates, NGO’s and staff of their biblical responsibility to stand with Israel at the UN. Her duties also include addressing human rights abuses against Jewish, Christian and Muslim women and children. In 2012, Laurie initiated a campaign to expose the anti-Semitic, anti-Judeo/Christian, anti-American and anti-Israel propaganda in history, social studies and geography textbooks adopted in Tennessee schools. Her research uncovered the bias and disinformation in many of the textbooks and linked them to the most controversial education initiative in U.S. history, Common Core. As a result, Laurie has been invited to speak in communities across the U.S. to educate and mobilize Christians, Jews and people of conscience to expose this subversive agenda in America’s schools. Laurie recently received an Honorary Doctorate Degree from the Latin University of Theology for her outstanding mission worldwide and at the UN to educate Christians about their biblical responsibility to the Jewish people and Israel and her biblical teaching about the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith. Additionally, Laurie was ordained as a Deacon with the WCICC in 2015.
