Christian Asia Bibi calls for blasphemy reform
In her first interview since her release from prison, Christian, Bibi, told the Sunday Telegraph: “I pray to God that everyone falsely implicated in blasphemy cases should be released, that they get freedom and God helps them.”
“There should be proper investigation mechanisms while applying this law. We should not consider anyone sinful for this act [blasphemy] without any proof, she added.”
Speaking about her time in a Pakistani jail, Bibi said that her Christian faith had never faltered and also said she never cried in front of her daughters when they visited her in jail, “I used to cry alone filled with pain and grief,” she added.

Trump administration backs Catholic nurse who says employer forced her to perform abortion
Jordan Sekulow, the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) attorney representing the nurse, told Fox News that President Trump, through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is the first president to enforce the federal law, the Church Amendment, passed by Congress in 1973.
“The Trump administration, President Trump, and Secretary Azar at HHS, is the first administration to actually enforce it against these hospitals, to actually enforce conscience protections so that nurses and doctors and medical professionals aren’t forced to perform abortions against their religious or deeply held beliefs,” Sekulow said.
On 9th May 2018, the Catholic nurse, who has asked to remain anonymous, filed a conscience and religious discrimination complaint against UVMC, contending they broke the law by forcing her to assist in an elective abortion despite making known her conscience-based objection.
The nurse allegedly thought she was assisting a miscarriage, but was later informed it was an abortion.
On Wednesday, HHS said its Office of Civil Rights (OCR) is giving UVMC, located in Burlington, Vt., 30 days to change its policies.
Sekulow said UVMC’s policy dates back to 2017, when it started to perform elective abortions, or “abortions for abortion’s sake,” after the former CEO of Planned Parenthood New England came in as a new chairman of the Board of…

Franklin Graham calls Taylor Swift’s Equality Act support ‘crushing threat to religious liberty’
The son of the late Billy Graham wrote on his Facebook page: “Shame on Taylor Swift for using her platform to try to push the socialist left’s so-called Equality Act, which has nothing to do with equality, but is about pushing the LGBTQ agenda down the throats of the American people.”
In May the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed sweeping new civil rights protections for LGBT Americans. The Republican-controlled Senate has yet to act, however, and supporters of the legislation – including pop star Taylor Swift – are getting frustrated.
The Equality Act, as it’s called, expands workplace, education and public accommodation protections that currently prohibit discrimination based on race, gender and disability to include sexual preference and gender identity.
Singer Taylor Swift opened the MTV awards night and performed with a colourful rendition of “You Need to Calm Down” an LGBTQ anthem that some have reported mocks Christians as uneducated and homophobic, with big gold letters on the stage that read “Equality Act.”
“This bill is the most crushing threat to religious liberty in our nation’s history,” Graham wrote. “In addition to allowing perverted men access to women’s private spaces like dressing rooms and restrooms, and allowing biological males to take over girls’ and women’s athletic competitions, this bill would do a…

John Sentamu leads Ellie Goulding’s star studded York Minster wedding

The chart-topper wore a traditional bespoke wedding gown with a veil and train designed by Natacha Ramsay-Levi for Chloe, while Mr Jopling opted for a suit from Savile Row tailors Huntsman.
The pair exited the minster after tying the knot, pausing on the steps to kiss before descending amongst a crowd of friends and family.
The 32-year-old Brit Award winner and her husband then left in the same blue Volkswagen campervan that delivered them to the service on Saturday afternoon.
