Fury unleashed over city’s assault on pastors

A move by Houston officials to bolster their defense of a “non-discrimination” ordinance by issuing subpoenas demanding pastors turn over sermons dealing with homosexuality has stirred such an outrage across America that 1,000 people per hour were signing a petition in opposition.

 

The Web petition set up by the Family Research Council had collected 25,000 names in 24 hours. The latest total was nearly 38,000 names.

 

The signers are standing “unapologetically” with the Houston pastors whose sermons were subpoenaed, and their churches are calling on the city of Houston “to retract their demands and issue a clear statement in support of the free speech of all people.”

 

FRC noted Houston Mayor Annise Parker’s office has filed a subpoena demanding that five pastors  who oppose the ordinance turn over sermons, emails, text messages and even communications with members of their congregations.
