A Geneva church is heading to the Federal Court following a decision by a cantonal court to ban baptisms in the lake.
The Evangelical Church of Cologny wanted to baptise a man in the lake at Collonge-Bellerive, but permission was denied.
The canton says that only religious orders that have a relationship with the state can hold events on public land.
To get that recognition, religious leaders have to sign an agreement on fundamental rights with the canton – and accept primacy of Swiss law.
The Cologny church refuses to do that.
