Welcome to Call to Decision 

 Subject: Pastor sued for publicly acknowledging Jesus



 Hello Subscribers,

 Here's an important message from Rob Schenck of www.faithandaction.org


 Imagine a leading pastor being asked to open a public meeting in prayer-
 -and then being told he can't pray in Jesus' name because it's
 unconstitutional!

 That's exactly what happened to 58 year old Baptist minister, Rev.
 Hashmel Turner, of Fredericksburg, Virginia.

 Pastor Turner, an esteemed African-American clergyman, who grew up in
 poverty, was fed by church people, and gave his life to Jesus Christ in
 a Billy Graham Crusade, is now going to court to defend the right of
 Christian clergy to pray in public meetings according to their
 conscience.

 Hashmel was sued because he dared to end his prayers at the
 Fredericksburg, Virginia, city council meetings with these powerful
 words: In Jesus Name!

 Apparently, the mention of the name of Jesus in a public meeting is
 enough to create a constitutional crisis.

 Now, Pastor Turner is a modern day "David" fighting against "Goliaths"
 like the ACLU and Americans United for the Separation of Church and
 State, who brought suit against him, claiming he violated the
 constitution by using the name of Jesus in a public place.

 What these anti-God extremists really want is no prayer at all in a
 public setting. Their ultimate aim is to silence ANY public expression
 of faith.

 Thankfully, Pastor Turner refused to back down to these radical views.
 He refuses to accept that Jesus is now banished from city council
 meetings.

 WE MUST SUPPORT THIS BRAVE MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL IN HIS STRUGGLE
 AGAINST AN OUTRAGEOUS ATTACK UPON HIS FAITH!

 That's why I'm asking you to sign our "Letter of Support to Pastor
 Turner" right now:

 In just a few days, Rev. Turner will meet with us at our ministry center
 in Washington, DC. We want him to know that thousands of believers
 across America are grateful for his courage and stand with him in this
 historic conflict.

 I've personally been involved in these public battles before and I can
 tell you how encouraging it is to know that you are not alone in your
 fight. Sometimes the only thing that sustains you is your faith and the
 support of those around you.

 Rev. Turner's case is being closely monitored. There is little doubt the
 decision in this litigation will affect city councils all across America.

 What we do here may be felt across the nation. As a nation we are at a
 pivotal moment in our history. This is NOT a time to back away from our
 reliance on the God of our Fathers; it is a time to acknowledge our
 dependence upon him.

 WE ARE NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL. WE ARE NOT ASHAMED OF THE NAME OF JESUS!

 Please join us as we join ranks with Rev. Hashmel Turner in his "David
 and Goliath" battle for the right to publicly acknowledge God.

 Sign our "Letter of Support to Pastor Turner" and then forward it to all
 of your family, friends, co-workers and fellow worshippers:

 I will personally deliver your petitions to Rev. Turner and remind him
 that he is not alone in this historic battle. It is imperative he knows
 that thousands of Americans across the nation are praying for him and
 for his family during this stressful time.

 Remember, Pastor Turner is coming to our ministry headquarters in just
 a few days so we need you to act now. Let me hear from you as we work
 together to preserve America as one nation... UNDER GOD!

 Your Missionary to Capitol Hill,

 Rob Schenck
