COMMENTARY
Allow me to make a very direct statement. I believe it is time for the Church in this country to stand up for religious freedom.
Especially over the course of the last few years, we have seen repeated efforts — in the courts, in state legislatures, in Congress, and on Pennsylvania Avenue — to erode what has been called the first freedom: religious liberty.
It isn’t hard to cite numerous cases where Christian organizations and individuals have been singled out and punished for adhering to their faith.
Today at the National Press Club in Washington, a statement signed 125 evangelical, Orthodox, and Catholic leaders is being released—an historic declaration on life, the family, and religious freedom.
