The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal for review in the long-running legal battle between Seattle's Union Gospel Mission and Matthew S. Woods. Woods was denied a position as the ministry's lawyer in 2016 because he was in a same-sex relationship.  Joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito argued that the Supreme Court has “yet to confront whether freedom for religious employers to hire their co-religionists is constitutionally required.”  Lower courts ruled that because Woods was applying for a legal position and not a ministerial position, the church had no right to deny him employment.
