Your Church Can Sign Up for Pulpit Freedom Sunday 2013
Pulpit Freedom Sunday is a movement of pastors boldly preaching biblical truth on the cultural, social, and political issues of the day.
Pulpit Freedom Sunday started in 2008 as a challenge to the Johnson Amendment. Since 1954, the Johnson amendment has unconstitutionally empowered the government to decide what a pastor can and cannot say from the pulpit; and it has bee intimidating pastors into silence on issues they might otherwise have addressed from Scripture. That is changing. Last year over 1,600 pastors nationwide participated in Pulpit Freedom Sunday—and this year that number will surely grow–as this year Pulpit Freedom Sunday is all about marriage.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit legal organization that advocates for the right of people to freely live out their faith, sponsored the sixtieth annual Pulpit Freedom Sunday on June 9, 2013. However churches can still register and participate on an alternate Sunday all the way through July, or they can make plans to participate next year.
