Summary
A UK army veteran was fined for praying silently near an abortion facility. A Michigan state law is threatening a Christian medical nonprofit for operating according to its Christian beliefs. Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov chose not to wear a rainbow jersey during warmups for the team’s recent Pride Night, citing his Russian Orthodox religious beliefs. Our culture is convinced that religion is so private, personal, and subjective that it should have no bearing on our public lives or society. But when secular society treats our Christian faith like a hobby, we must not follow suit.
