A group of influential Christian theologians and pastors announced on Wednesday their support of businesses like Hobby Lobby who are fighting against the HHS contraception mandate. In a 46-page amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), they argued that the mandate violates the First Amendment rights of Christians who believe that all work is sacred.

The list of 38 signatories includes pastor Rick Warren, Bishop Harry Jackson, theologian Wayne Grudem, author Ravi Zacharias, and other Christian influencers. The convening organizations listed on the brief includes Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Coalition of African American Pastors, and Manhattan Declaration, a movement of conservative Christians fighting “for life, marriage, and religious liberty.”

What took them so long?

In Warren's case, he probably had to measure how much publicity he can get out of it first.

I have been supporting Chick-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, The Little Sisters of the Poor, Catholic Charities, and others, against HHS Mandates, Homosexualist Propaganda, and the Left for YEARS.

And I am NOT a famous Christian Leader...

Just a humble bass player/music director in a Biker Church.
