Trial tomorrow.
Will you pray? |
Case Updates |
| An important trial starts tomorrow. Please pray! | | | | | Dear webmaster220, Tomorrow, ADF attorney and my good friend, Kate Anderson, will be arguing on behalf of Country Mill Farms before a federal district court in Michigan. Country Mill Farms and its owners, Steve and Bridget Tennes, were ousted from the East Lansing, Michigan farmer's market when city officials learned what they believe about marriage. The Tenneses are Catholic. And their faith is central to everything they do. When someone asked what Steve and Bridget believe about marriage on the Country Mill Facebook page, they answered politely and honestly. They explained their Catholic belief that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman. City officials took issue with their belief. Although the Tennes family had sold their organic apples and other items at the market since 2010, city officials crafted a new ordinance to specifically keep Country Mill out. Through your support, we filed a lawsuit on the Tennes' behalf. A judge ruled that they could return to the market while the case proceeds. But now their case must go to trial as ADF continues our efforts to permanently protect their freedoms I can tell you that, no matter what court you're arguing before, anxiety creeps in. "Am I prepared? Will I do a good job? Can I answer everything the judge asks me?" Most of all, attorneys want to do everything we can to ensure that our clients receive the justice they deserve. For these and so many other reasons, I'm asking if you would join us in praying. For the Tennes family, who should never have to go through this trial in the first place. For Kate as she defends the Tennes family. And for the freedoms of speech and religion to be upheld so that every man, woman, and child in America will continue to benefit from these freedoms. Will you please let us know you are praying for Kate and the Tennes Family by replying to this email? | | | | | Warmly, Kristen Waggoner General Counsel Alliance Defending Freedom | | | | | P.S. Have you signed up for the ADF Generational Wins Prayer Initiative? We're looking for 5 million people to commit to praying for freedom's future. Check out the Prayer Initiative here! | | | | |
