by Jared Bridges |
The shooting. That's still how it's referred to around here. Simply "the shooting." That's all you have to say, and everyone who works for Family Research Council - whether they were here that day or not - knows what you're talking about.

FRC Shooting 10 Years Later: Lives Forever Changed, Hearts Forever Grateful |
by Dan Hart |
August 15, 2012 "started out as a typically normal day" for Family Research Council (FRC) building manager Leo Johnson, as he described it. Johnson, who had seven years of experience as a security guard for FRC, had moved into the position of building operations manager, but still spent part of his daily shifts manning the guard desk in the lobby of FRC's headquarters in Washington, D.C. Little did he know that on this day, in an instant, his life would be on the line, and would be forever transformed. |

Looming among these is the threat to the tax-exempt status of religious organizations that believe marriage is between one man and one woman. |

How a Christian Should Respond to the Mar-a-Lago Raid |
by Ben Johnson |
Evangelical leaders say Christians should not respond to legitimate concerns that the Biden administration is weaponizing law enforcement agencies against its critics with sinful fear or threats of violence, which will only strengthen federal efforts to repress believers' civil liberties. Instead, one of the nation's foremost Christian leaders has revealed the exact words he prays when he thinks about the future of American freedom. |
