--BRINGING BACK SCHOOL PRAYER~~

~~January 16 [2020], was National Religious Freedom Day, and the President announced several new regulation issued to roll back discriminatory rules and promote student and teacher rights to pray in public schools. The Education Department has sent out memos to all 50 states, indicating that they cannot prevent teachers or students from praying in public schools. This affirms their constitutionally protected right to pray in school settings. The President [Donald Trump] said, "In public schools around the country, authorities are stopping students and teachers from praying, sharing their faith or following their religious beliefs. It is totally unacceptable. You see it on the football field, you see it so many times where they are stopped from praying. We are doing something to stop that."

~~STILL FIGHTING~~

~~Aaron and Melissa Klein owned a bakery in Salem, OR, and seven years ago refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding, as it conflicted with their religious beliefs. Melissa said, "We lost everything we loved and worked so hard to build." They lost their case and were hit with $135,000 in fines. The negative publicity and fines forced them to close the bakery. Now there is a glimmer of hope for them, however, as their case is being by heard by Oregon Court of Appeals for reconsideration. The court is expected to rule within the next six months. Melissa also stated, "I am hopeful and putting my hope in Jesus."

--VIRGINIA COUPLE WINS~~

~~Ken and Liv Hauge in Fredericksburg, VA, had been in a legal battle for their right to hold Bible studies in their apartment building's community room and also in their own private apartment. Their attorneys argued that it was a violation of the Faith Housing Act by discriminating against the couple's freedom of religion. A settlement has been reached that rescinds the policy to prohibit religious activity n the building, and permits them to host Bible studies in the community room or thier apartment. This is a great example of Christians standing up against those who would try to stifle their religious freedoms. ~~
