| PERKINS: Hostility to Churches Fueled by Biden's Anti-Faith Climate |
| by Tony Perkins |
| "It's an emotional moment," Pastor Robin Lutjohann said quietly, surveying the rubble of his church. "It's been a place of worship for a number of communities for over a century," he told reporters after a six-alarm fire raged through the building Easter Sunday, destroying the Massachusetts landmark. "It fills me with sadness..." Lutjohann admitted, wondering why anyone would have such malice toward Faith Lutheran. "If and when a person is found who has done this then we will pray for the power to forgive," he insisted. Unfortunately, his congregation isn't alone in that prayer. |

| Parents' Appeal to SCOTUS Highlights Intensifying Clash between Parents' Rights, Trans Agenda |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Indiana parents Mary and Jeremy Cox have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to vacate lower and appellate court rulings that removed their teenage son from their home. The state's Department of Child Services (DCS) removed him not because the parents were abusive or negligent, but because their Catholic beliefs would not allow them to affirm his desire to pursue a gender transition. |

| After Male Basketball Player Injures 3 Female Players, Team Forfeits Game |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Since the presence of trans-identifying men in women's competitions have increased, the number of women winning first, second, and third has decreased. The women and girls in swimming, track and field, golf, volleyball, dance, cross country, and other sports, are repeatedly defeated by men. For some, this alone is enough to demand a change. But when women losing to men isn't enough to spark change, many are asking if women being hurt by men, which has happened repeatedly over the last few years, will prove to be the final straw. |

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| The Yellowhammer State's highest court is ruling that frozen embryos are legally children under state law. In a ruling issued Friday, Alabama's Supreme Court declared that "the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act applies to all unborn children, regardless of their location." The relevant case involved the question of whether or not parents could sue after their cryogenically frozen embryos were accidentally destroyed by an employee at a fertility clinic. |

| State Department Warns Staffers against 'Misgendering' |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| As the U.S. faces a rapidly deteriorating situation in the Middle East and a worsening crisis at its own southern border, the State Department is ensuring that staffers don't "misgender" one another. Just days after the U.S. attacked Iran-backed militants in retaliation for the killing of three American troops, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a communique instructing State Department staffers to avoid using "harmful" terminology such as "mother/father," "son/daughter," and "husband/wife." |

| 'If We Don't Take a Stand Now' against Hostility, the Church Could Become 'Voiceless,' Pastor Warns |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| "I documented 18 separate incidences of either vandalism, theft, or hostilities in the year 2023 alone," Rob Rotola, pastor of Word of Life Church in Wichita, Kansas, said. "And that is, honestly, with ignoring some of the smaller things that didn't even make the list." |
