Friend, I wanted to make you aware of a Christian homeless ministry in Seattle being sued for declining to hire an applicant who disagrees with—and sought to change—the ministry’s religious beliefs. Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission has been given an ultimatum by the Washington Supreme Court: give up your biblical beliefs or change how you serve your homeless neighbors. This isn’t just a threat to the Mission. It’s a threat to all Americans’ religious freedom. The Alliance Defending Freedom Team has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. ADF is the world’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, marriage and family, parental rights, and the sanctity of life. We defend your most cherished liberties in Congress, state legislatures, and courtrooms across the country—all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. We need your help. Will you take a moment to add your name to this petition asking the government to stop forcing religious ministries to hire people who disagree with their mission? You will help send a message against government overreach. |
