President Donald Trump announced on Thursday a series of sweeping faith-based initiatives, including a new presidential commission on religious liberty and an executive order targeting perceived anti-Christian bias. Speaking at the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., Trump also said he would reestablish a White House faith office led by Paula White, a controversial celebrity televangelist and his longtime spiritual adviser.
“It was faith that led the pilgrims to cross an ocean and settle this majestic continent, and we’re going to keep it majestic,” Trump said in his remarks. “Here in America, we are, once again, a nation that believes in ourselves. We believe in our destiny and trust in the providence of Almighty God.”
Trump said the new task force – headed by Attorney General Pam Bondi – would “immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government” and “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society, and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.”
