The Lake Union Conference public affairs and religious liberty director, Nicholas Miller, offered a thoughtful criticism of the Supreme Court’s recent affirmation of prayer in public schools. Miller wrote, “Nobody was stopping the Coach from praying in his own home, in his car, in his office, or even quietly on the sidelines. He wanted to elevate his prayer into a public ritual, using a platform that he only had by virtue of his state job.”

i see Kennedy v. Bremerton School District as a contribution to the blurring of religion and the state that’s a necessary prerequisite for egw eschatology…the case has been overshadowed by
Dobbs v. Jackson, which is also ominous, in terms of the ease of overturning 50-yr old precedent it demonstrates, but Kennedy v. Bremerton is a more direct legal line to Sunday laws, in my view…i agree with Nick’s criticism…
