Just yesterday we were notified by the local historical society that we must relocate our Bible study/prayer time off of county property because it was "religious." A local church that has done a Christmas pageant every year as part of the local festivities has been told it will not be allowed to participate next year because its program was too evangelistic! We are busy collecting the information and are about to take a stand. The time is not coming. The time has come.
If the historical society is a public body and it allows other (non-religious) groups to use the space for their meetings, it cannot exclude you from the space because you are "religious."
If this is the case, go back to the historical society and point this legal fact out to them. By excluding you from public property due to the religious nature of your group, they are violating your civil rights.

It's Liberty Counsel, a legal organization focused on defending the religious side of these disputes (Jerry Falwell mentioned it this morning on local radio)
They have a place with frequently asked legal questions, and to request legal assistance.
The time is not coming. The time has come.
Not taking a stand is taking a stand. For the side of darkness.
Amen. To borrow the title of the old hymn - Onward Christian Soldiers.
"The time is not coming. The time has come."
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and all of us on FreeRepublic this Christmas season. May He watch over all of us and guide us as we make our stand over the next few years for His name.
AMEN! It certainly has. A sign of the end times, for sure.
