Ephesians 6:13 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”
Important Takeaways:
- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that the city of Boston violated the First Amendment by censoring an organization that applied to have a Christian flag flown in front of City Hall.
- The high court voted 9-0 in favor of local resident Hal Shurtleff and his civic organization, Camp Constitution that petitioned to raise a Christian flag on the pole.
- “This case is so much bigger than a flag,” he added. “It really involves whether the government can open a forum for a lot of different voices and then shut the door for Christian viewpoints.”
- While Boston argued there were clear parameters over the flags it considers acceptable, ultimately, the justices expressed that it seemed officials were operating off the belief that it would be unconstitutional to allow a religious flag to fly outside of City Hall – and that was a mistake.
- “That defies logic because Boston allows two competing Chinese organizations or individual groups to put opposite flags, both of the Chinese community, one pro-China, one anti-China, the other one pro-communism, the other one anti-communism,” said Staver.
