ADF Attorney Jeffery Ventrella writing at Inside the Issues: “How can we expect the next generation of lawyers to really know about constitutional law unless they understand the context undergirding that precious document? . . . There is a solution: while ideas have consequences, people change cultures—more precisely, changed people change cultures. And that is the fundamental mission actuating the Blackstone Legal Fellowship. By a rigorous curriculum fueled by a top-notch faculty, our country’s best and brightest Christian law students are transformed.”

Christian Concern for Our Nation (CCFON): “On Sunday 21st March, 65 delegates gathered in the stunning grounds of Exeter College, Oxford, to embark on a week of intense study, fellowship with one another, and worship . . . On the first evening, after many cups of tea and introductions, there was an opening banquet. Andrea Minichiello Williams (Director, Christian Legal Centre) and [Jeffrey Ventrella] (Senior Vice President, Alliance Defense Fund) spoke after the dinner with passion and humility, challenging all the delegates to ‘put Christianity in its place’ and to answer the ‘call of today’s worshipful warrior’ . . . Teaching from [Jordan Lorence] (Senior Vice President, Alliance Defense Fund) at these sessions was always highly relevant; he spoke honestly about the traps that Christians can fall into and provided practical advice for keeping our future careers devoted to God.”

WORLD Magazine: “A good friend recently told me about a talk she’d heard in London, given by Jeff Ventrella, an attorney and executive with the Alliance Defense Fund. Thanks to the kind people at Sovereign Grace Church in Gilbert, Ariz., where Ventrella first gave this talk, I was able to listen to it on a podcast. Ventrella addressed the issue of how we, as Christians, are to live in this world in a way that wins it to Christ. How are we to live in the midst of a corrupt culture—a culture that codifies evil in the form of abortion, a culture that seems increasingly hostile to Judeo-Christian values such as marriage, a culture that tears away at the values parents teach their children?”

Here is the deep analytic flaw in the court’s assertion: behavior (ethics) is being confused with status (metaphysics) . . .

Greetings!  Between the lawyers chapter and the student chapters, we’ve got quite a few amazing opportunities and speakers this spring; please take the time to review these events and mark your calendars.  Please feel free to share this email with …

Ever since Lawrence v. Texas as well as Roper v. Simmons it’s been the rage. The ACLU has sponsored seminars and conferences about this. Several sitting Justices—participating on the rubber chicken circuit (that’s NOT part of the Courts of Appeal)–have …

Calling himself a "cultural Christian," leading God-denier Richard Dawkins still understands what strict separationists like the ACLU fail to grasp: The West has a culture and that culture is Christian in its foundation, mores, and traditions – and should be …

In spite of the corruptive and misleading mantra, “separation of church and state,” some theologians and legal commentators are setting the record straight.
