Religious Liberty: A Letter to President Trump

Dear President Trump:

Congratulations on your inauguration. As you begin your administration, we want to express deep concern about the state of religious liberty in America. As observers of both cultural trends and prophetic patterns, we see mounting challenges to religious freedom that require your immediate attention and decisive action.

Religious liberty stands as America’s first freedom, enshrined in our Constitution and fundamental to our national character. However, this cornerstone of American democracy faces unprecedented challenges from multiple directions. Recent years have seen religious organizations and individuals increasingly pressured to violate their consciences or face legal, social, and economic consequences.

Of particular concern is the growing tension between religious freedom and expanding anti-discrimination laws.
