Religious Liberty Orgs Call On Doug Collins To Unwind VA’s ‘Unconstitutional’ ‘Censorship’ Of Chaplain

Two religious freedom law groups on Tuesday suspend “censorship” of pastors who were blamed for preaching Christian doctrine in a sermon he gave in June 2024 I sent a letter requesting that I do so.

The Independence Law Center and the First Liberty Institute on Tuesday replied with the VA for preaching to Virginia Secretary of Douglas Collins’s Virginia, Army Reserve Russell Tulvey, a sermon in the Roman Book in June 2024. After facing him, he sent a letter urging him to be able to preach something that is not hindered. According to In the letter. Legal groups allege that the VA violated his constitutional rights by not allowing Trubey to preach after the sermon.

“I hope that religious freedom will result in good results because religious speech is important,” said Randall Wagner, chief counsel at the Independence Law Centre. He spoke to the Daily Carener News Foundation. “This is America. Pastors should be free to become pastors and they should not be punished because they preach from the Bible. So I hope this can be resolved in a friendly way.”

Trubey was pastor of the Coatesville VA Medical Center for 10 years. One of his duties was to lead the Protestant Chapel Service. The sermon in question was one of a two-part series in the first chapter of St. Paul’s letter, entitled “When Culture Excludes God.” in section Of the Romans he read for the service in question, Paul teaches against homosexual relationships.

The sermon urged his supervisor, Chaplain Bryn White, to order Trubey not to work at the Coatesville facility, according to the letter. The incident also prompted a change in the pastor’s SOP. This argues that legal groups are violating the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by restricting their sermons to “divisible, cultural or political issues.”

“Pastor Tulvey’s punishment and censorship are clearly unconstitutional and violated. [the Religious Freedom Restoration Act]. We rebel pastor White and compensate him for the overtime he lost due to investigation and LOR by revoking the new SOP and compensate him by protecting him from continuing censorship. By doing so, we ask that you correct discrimination against the pastor Tulvey,” reads the letter. “Pastors should be free to preach, following their religious beliefs and sectarian teachings, without fear of censorship, retaliation or retaliation. This is precisely the demands of the US Constitution and federal law, and the veterans of the Coatesville facility will be able to preach freely. It’s worth it.”

Before Trump took office, the Biden administration targeted government Christians, including repeated prosecutions that were repeatedly prosecuted by the Justice Department under the Facial Act, which protested outside the abortion clinic while in office.
