The outlet The Nation obtained a leaked copy of the order, which allegedly protects faith-based entities “when providing social services, education, or healthcar..

A friend quipped as he was finishing seminary that when asked his post-graduation plans, he would respond, “I’m going to be a celebrity pastor.” While his tongue-in-cheek remark brought laughs, it reminded of a real temptation leaders face.

Many Evangelicals voted for Trump for the Supreme Court, so let's stop painting them with every other brush

That’s what many Evangelicals were hoping—and why many voted the way they did.

Scholarly Denver judge who ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby would fill Scalia’s seat as the court's only Protestant.
