The Right Call
Larry and Katrina, a Christian couple married nearly six years, are the proud parents of two beautiful little girls, one of whom just joined the family last month. When their daughters are old enough, they will be home-schooled. “We just want to spend as much time as possible with our children,” Larry said. “We want to be the primary influence on their lives.” Of course, they will have that opportunity. It seems ridiculous to think that their choice to school their children in their home was ever at risk – but it was.

Protecting Battesimo
"Battesimo" is Italian for baptism, and if one Italian atheist had his way, the word – and its religious significance – would be banished. But that won't happen now, and a potentially very bad precedent of international law has been averted, thanks to an Italian Alliance Defense Fund allied attorney.

The Alliance Defense Fund submitted a letter Friday to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael O.

Costly Words in California
History remembers George Herbert, the 17th Century Welsh poet and
priest of the Church of England, as a kind man who always put the care
of his parishioners first. He also put a high value on words, saying,
“Good words are worth much, and cost little.” If only that were true in
California today.
