Earlier this week, I was down in DC at a national strategy conference hosted by our legal ministry friends at Alliance Defending Freedom. This gave me the opportunity to spend some more time with Steve O’Ban, the ADF attorney I’ve been working with on the transgender church lawsuit. As I shared with you last month, ADF […]
I know many of you have been closely following the ordeal of Dr. Paul Church, the Harvard affiliated physician who was ousted from his practice at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for speaking up about the health risks of homosexual activity. This afternoon, his story was prominently featured on the home page of foxnews.com. At […]
Two major assaults on religious liberty have occurred this week in Massachusetts. Please see my article in the NewBostonPost on yesterday’s decision to force Catholic schools to hire homosexuals as well as Dr. Church losing his appeal because of his stand on homosexuality. Given this news, I just finished updating the final draft of our Engage the Bay […]
As the fight for religious liberty rages on, be encouraged in knowing that people of faith are standing for truth and morality in the public square—and they’re receiving faithful support.

President Anita Staver had sought to hold a lecture on American history from a religious viewpoint in a meeting room of the Lawrence Public Library. Her application was rejected due to its religious nature. While the Library’s stated mission encourages […]
You may have heard in the news this week that an Air Force Major General, stationed right here in MA at Hanscom AFB, is being threatened with court martial for talking about his faith in public. As hard as that may be to believe, Fox News reports that a group calling themselves, ironically, the “Military Religious Freedom Foundation” […]
