That question had a corollary: Will Christians Continue to Be Safe and Comfortable in America?
Who can forget those first images we saw of smoke and flames pouring out of New York’s World Trade Center towers that Tuesday morning 25 years ago? Impossible to forget. One of the most trending phrases associated with the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9-11 is “Don’t forget”. But don’t forget what? About one third of all
