Whiteheads: Equality Act ‘bulldozes Christians out of the public square’
WASHINGTON – Though the Equality Act may soon “put churches and religious groups in unprecedented territory,” Kansas City attorneys Michael and Jonathan Whitehead said Missouri Baptists don’t need to use much imagination to see what harm the bill could do.

The Equality Act (H.R. 5) passed through the U.S. House … [Read more...]

Rep. Hartzler: Equality Act diminishes rights of women, authority of parents

The Equality Act is the epitome of this misrepresentation,” Hartzler said following passage of the bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, Feb. 25. “This legislation is an affront on … [Read more...]
Senate bill offers highest legal protection for churches against COVID-19 lawsuits
JEFFERSON CITY – A bill in the Missouri General Assembly that would provide the highest legal protection for Missouri churches against frivolous, COVID-related lawsuits is working its way toward possible passage.
