1. if there is a law against it it is illegal. there you go
2. The he can be generic, I think the main issue is the christian requirement, which might not be kosher, but do you really want to work for these folks if you have a different belief? Heck, I'd consider it a fair warning. Good luck!
3. They are just trying to narrow the field of applicants down by being specific......Nothing wrong with that
4. i don't think its right and the newspapers are carefull of what to print so i would say it is, but i think its more of a discussion for the interview. but would'nt it be nice if everyone was, so it would'nt have to be asked. amen
5. Sure, it is legal. They are not bound by any rules with this kind of a job. I saw an ad where you had to be a certain height because it was for a therapist for a handicapped child who is big and strong. Another one was some kind of camp for boys and they wanted a male counselor only. They make the rules. Discrimination is very specific to each job and each place of employment. In this case, though, the "he" may just be generic and it could be that they will hire a woman.
