  • President Biden has promised to sign the “Equality Act” into law during his first 100 days if given the chance. Now, with its recent passage in the House, the chances of the “Equality Act” being signed into law are higher than ever before. The “Equality Act” would add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected classes to many existing federal nondiscrimination laws. And though “nondiscrimination” sounds good in theory, that is not what this bill is truly about. The “Equality Act” is a deliberate and dangerous attempt to force people of faith to abandon their sincerely held beliefs ...

  • It all began when Bank of America, one of the world’s largest banks sent abrupt notices to a Memphis-based church and Indigenous Advance, one of its ministry partners. The bank said they were closing their accounts and even the ministry’s credit cards. And they both had only 30 days to switch to a new bank. Bank of America didn’t even give a specific reason. All it said was that it simply no longer wanted to serve the ministries’ “business type” and that Indigenous Advance has exceeded the banks “risk tolerance.” But Indigenous Advance isn’t ideological or partisan. And it’s had the same ...

  • For 60 years, the heart of the mission of Medford, OR-based 71Five Ministries has been to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to the youth in their community through trusting mentor relationships. The ministry has long participated in a state grant program designed to support existing services for youth at risk of disengaging from school, work, and community. Yet after being approved for over $400,000 in grants, the state rescinded the funds. The state discriminated against the group because of its Christian beliefs. The state claims the ministry is ineligible for the grants because it only hires ...
