Podcast with First Liberty Attorney on an Attempt to Censor Sermons
Topic: Attempt to Censor Sermons.
America was founded for the most part for religious freedom. But in today’s secular milieu we often find Christians having our freedom curtailed. First Liberty represents a Pennsylvania V. A. Chaplain who was sanctioned for a chapel message, and he faces sermon censorship by his supervisor for same. First Liberty writes, “’The government has no business censoring anyone’s sermon, including military chaplains,’ said Erin Smith, Associate Counsel at First Liberty Institute. ‘This is just the kind of woke policy that we anticipate [V.A.] Secretary [Doug] Collins wants to purge from the VA.’” Randall Wenger of the Independence Law Center added, “Chaplains do not give up their First Amendment rights in order to serve. Censoring the content of a chaplain’s sermon is an unconstitutional violation of their God-given rights to religious freedom and free speech.” Attorney Erin Smith of First Liberty joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss this case. www.firstliberty.org
