Pray for our small town. We have had a manger, wise men and shepherds on courthouse yard for years. We also have carolers and Santa. Someone from outside the community complained to one of the national organizations that remove such displays. Our president of county counselman has said he has received no letter (a letter was mailed to general post to court house). and no one has requested to be recognized in person at a meeting that displays he removed, so they stay! OK for this year!
We have twenty plus churches in vicinity. No Temples or mosques. All who have requested to place a display on courthouse lawn have been approved including a veterans group. What’s the beef?
We’re standing proud.
The First Amendment is clear that it is CONGRESS, not States, counties or towns, that are constrained from favoring one religion over another.
These leftist groups threaten lawsuits, and states , towns and counties roll over to avoid the cost. Then these lefties pick them off one by one, making examples of tzhem so no one else will fight.
Someone has to tell them get bent.
If everyone is allowed equal access, there is no issue, they cannot say your town is favoring one religion over another.
There were state religions in CT and MA when the Constitution went into effect, it was not an issue.
Have your town contact one of the Christian legal groups that fight this swill on a regular basis.
Prayers up for the continued Divine Protection of your town. Also, kudos to the town’s citizens.
