Christian legal group campaigns to restore prayer, affirmations of faith to public square
(Worthy News) – A 2022 Supreme Court ruling allowing a Washington state high school football coach to pray on the field at the end of games is the first step in a nationwide push to return affirmations of faith to the public square, according to the Christian legal group that won the case.
The Texas-based First Liberty Institute announced Monday a “Restoring Faith In America” campaign aimed at defending the right to openly pray, display the Ten Commandments, erect nativity scenes and otherwise express faith in arenas where religiosity disappeared in recent decades.
First Liberty President and CEO Kelly Shackelford said the high court’s 6-3 decision in favor of coach Joe Kennedy means public affirmations of faith that were once blocked are now permitted — and Americans should seize these opportunities, he said. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
