SCOTUS Delivers Major Wins for Religious Liberty
NRB hailed the U.S. Supreme Court’s 7-2 rulings honoring religious liberty in the cases of Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru and Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania.
Celebrating the rulings, Troy Miller, CEO of NRB, the world’s pre-eminent association of Christian broadcasters and communicators, said:
These rulings are major wins for religious liberty. We applaud the Court for recognizing in Our Lady of Guadalupe that employers with religious convictions have the right to operate according to those convictions and to employ those who will do so as well – and not just when it comes to ministers. Furthermore, NRB applauds the Court for ensuring through its decision on Little Sisters of the Poor that organizations with sincerely-held religious and/or moral objections are not forced to provide coverage for some or all contraceptive services in their health plans as required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The freedom to live and operate according to your faith is America’s first freedom in the Bill of Rights, and it must be guaranteed and protected.

Praying for America: 40 Inspiring Stories and Prayers for Our Nation
By Dr. Robert Jeffress
The most patriotic thing you can do for America is pray for America. In times of division and disaster, our country has a long history of turning to God. Robert Jeffress, the senior pastor of a 14,000-member church in Dallas, Texas, and a Fox News contributor, believes it should be no different today. "When we seek God's help and pray about the issues that affect our lives," writes Jeffress, "we influence the fate of our families, our churches, and our nation. It has happened before in history, and it can happen again."
