Attack on Faith-Based Institutions Continues

We are glad to report that Sen. Lara’s SB 1146, the very serious threat to Christian higher learning, was further amended before passing the Senate concurrence vote.

Reprieve for California’s Christian Colleges

Thank you for your faithful prayer and action! We are pleased to report that SB 1146 has been amended into a less threatening bill, but the amended language is still problematic unless further amended. What was removed?

SB 1146, a bill sponsored by Equality California and several LGBT groups, has passed the California Senate and is making its way through the Assembly.

Open the Door to Credit for Religious Instruction in California Schools
