FIRST LOOK

Religious Liberty is Helping Reopen America

[link removed]

In a recent Newsweek editorial, I explained that for people of faith,
temporary limitations on the freedom to meet together have impacted
one of the church's most fundamental doctrines-communal
gatherings. But the lesson we can learn from this crisis is that the
free exercise of religion is for more than merely the faithful. It is
the cornerstone upon which a nation of freedom is built.

MONTHLY GIVING CAMPAIGN

Help Us Fight Back Against Brazen Attacks on Military Service
Members' Religious Freedom

It's a cruel insult that those who sacrificed for our liberties should
have their own freedoms attacked. No one is safe from this
assault--not chaplains, not an inspirational dog-tag business,
not even a 100-year-old decorated WWII veteran. We need you
to stand with us as we fight back against this outrageous hostility.
