Thomas More to represent arrested Christians
OneNewsNow
The four evangelists who were arrested at an Arab festival in Michigan now have legal assistance.
The Arab culture festival last weekend in Dearborn, Michigan, attracted about 300,000 people over a three-day period. Robert Muise of the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) tells OneNewsNow that four Christian evangelists were sharing their faith with Moslems on Friday night.
"For a period of time, the police, when they were coming up, they were telling some of the Moslems, who were being very vocal and using profanity and so forth, to quiet down, and [they were] disbursing the mobs and letting these Christian evangelists do what they wanted to do at the festival," Muise explains.

Lawmaker Calls for Hearings into Pentagon’s ‘Politically Correct’ Decisions to ‘Disinvite’ Conservative Christian Leaders
CNS News
A conservative Republican congressman from Georgia is calling for congressional hearings to investigate actions by the U.S. military in recent weeks to cancel or rescind invitations that had been made to two prominent conservative Christian leaders -- Franklin Graham and Tony Perkins -- to speak at military prayer events.
“I think that we need to have some hearings on this because this seems to be something that the military is spending some energy on and we need to raise the visibility on it,” Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) told CNSNews.com.

Atheist Group Calls on Obama to Endorse ‘National Day of Reason' Instead of 'National Day of Prayer'
CNS News
An atheist group is calling on President Obama to ditch the National Day of Prayer and formally recognize its own “non-theist” version called “The National Day of Reason.”
Last week, a federal judge in Madison, Wis., ruled that the law designating the first Thursday in May to be the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional because, the judge said, it negatively impacts non-believers.

Indiana School Removes 'Allah' From Holiday Show After Protests
Fox News
An elementary school in Indiana reportedly removed a mention of Allah in its holiday show after protests from a national conservative Christian group.
Lantern Road Elementary Principal Danielle Thompson told IndyStar.com that school officials in Fishers, Ind., attempted to teach inclusiveness through the second-grade program that included portions on Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa.
Thompson said officials removed the phrase "Allah is God," however, after the American Family Association complained about the program on its electronic newsletter. The alteration was made because no other deities were named in the program.

Exclusive: Carrie Prejean Says 'God Was Testing My Faith' With Gay Marriage Question
FOXNEWS
In an exclusive interview with FOXNews.com's Courtney Friel, Miss California says her phone has been ringing off the hook with people offering her support after she took on a question about gay marriage on Sunday night's Miss USA telecast. "I have no regrets about answering [judge Perez Hilton] honestly," she said in one of her first interviews following the show, where she answered that she was against gay marriage becoming legal in California. "He asked me for my opinion and I gave it to him. I have nothing against gay people and I didn't mean to offend anyone in my answer." ...FOXNews.com: How are you feeling today? Carrie Prejean: Honestly, happy. This happened for a reason. By having to answer that question in front of a national audience, God was testing my character and faith. I'm glad I stayed true to myself. FOXNews.com: Have a lot of people been trying to get in touch with you? Carrie Prejean: Yes, lots of phone calls. I've gotten...hundreds of messages from people I don’t know, saying how proud of me they are that I stood my ground. That made me the real winner of the night. FOXNews.com: Did your stomach sink when you first heard you picked Perez Hilton's question? Carrie Prejean: I had a gut feeling. I knew he was controversial, and so was the question. Out of all the topics I studied up on, I dreaded that one, I prayed I would not be asked about gay marriage. If I had any other question, I know I would have won. ...FOXNews.com: Are you upset that Perez Hilton called you a "b**ch" in his blog rant? Carrie Prejean: Yes, but I have no regrets about answering honestly. He asked me for my opinion and I gave it to him. I have nothing against gay people, and I didn't mean to offend anyone in my answer.

Pope urges all faiths to unite against 'indiscriminate violence'
USA Today
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI on Friday urged religious leaders of all kinds to unite against those who use faith to divide communities — an apparent reference to terrorism in the name of religion. "In a world threatened by sinister and indiscriminate forms of violence, the unified voice of religious people urges nations and communities to resolve conflicts through peaceful means and with full regard for human dignity," Benedict told a gathering of clerics from different faiths in Sydney. He met with representatives of Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Buddhist faiths during the Roman Catholic Church's youth festival, which has drawn hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Sydney.

Prospect of gay Lutheran bishop divides Germans
Yahoo News
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany could elect its first openly gay Lutheran bishop next month, a move conservatives say would alienate many Christians and open divisions in the Church. The July 12 election brings to Germany the question of gay clergy and same-sex unions which has caused rifts in several countries and faiths, including the Anglican community. Horst Gorski, a senior cleric from Hamburg, is standing for the post of bishop of Schleswig in northern Germany against Gerhard Ulrich, a senior cleric from the Schleswig area. The incumbent bishop is retiring in September. Gorski is a widely respected theologian and he helped set up a centre for gay and lesbian Lutheran pastors. His open homosexuality angers some Lutheran conservatives who argue his election as bishop would leave many Christians with no spiritual home.

Manifesto aims to make 'evangelical' a less-political term
USA Today
An "evangelical manifesto" being released today by a group of Christian scholars and theologians is expected to try to take back the term "evangelical" from politics and return it to its theological roots. "Evangelical" has been widely used to refer to Christians who have conservative political views, but the Evangelical Theological Society requires members to agree on just two points: inerrancy of Scripture, and belief in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as "separate but equal in attributes and glory" and essential for salvation.

Obama defends response to Wright
Politico
It was the kind of Sunday morning tailor-made for a DVR. Just two days before the crucial Indiana and North Carolina primaries, Sen. Barack Obama sat for an hourlong interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” dominated by questions about his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile, appeared in a wide-ranging town hall forum in Indiana on ABC’s “This Week.” On NBC, Obama (D-Ill.) admitted that the controversy surrounding Wright “distracted” his campaign. Instead of talking about the economy, the Iraq war and other pressing issues, “we spent a lot of time talking about Rev. Wright. ... It wasn’t welcome.”

Pope blesses ground zero in NYC, prays for peace
My Way News
NEW YORK (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI began the final day of his American journey by blessing the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and pleading with God to bring "peace to our violent world." The visit by Benedict to ground zero was a poignant moment in a trip marked by unexpectedly festive crowds anxious to see the former academic who for three years has led the world's Roman Catholics. Benedict was driven in the popemobile part-way down a ramp now used mostly by construction trucks to a spot by the north tower's footprint. He walked the final steps, knelt in silent prayer for a few moments, then rose to light a memorial candle. Addressing a group that including survivors, clergy and public officials, he acknowledged the many faiths of the victims at the "scene of incredible violence and pain."
