FRCs Tony Perkins Applauds President Trumps EO Creating a White House Faith Initiative
Summary
"No more fitting example of religious freedom can be found than the story of John Ponder, a convicted bank robber and Richard Beasley, the FBI agent who arrested him.Having accepted Christ in prison as a result of reading the Bible and hearing the words of Billy Graham, John and Richard developed a remarkable friendship."No longer are Americans punished or excluded from the public square because of their faith, rather they are welcomed and protected by our government," Perkins concluded.The event also commemorated the one year anniversary of President Trumps executive order protecting religious expression throughout the federal government.A Family Research Council analysis released yesterday finds that the order enabled charities and other entities to provide up to 13.7 million people with health care and other social services.
