Pastors:
The Ohio Pastor Protection Act will receive a hearing this coming Tuesday, February 21st at 10:30 a.m. in room 114 at the Ohio Statehouse. It is urgent that you either provide a letter of support or come in person to support H.B. 36, Ohio Pastor Protection Act. If submitting a letter of support, please email or fax it to me by 3 p.m. Monday and I will forward it to Rep. Vitale's office to be submitted as testimony in support of the legislation. Your letters do not have to be detailed. They can be written on church stationery if you choose. This legislation not only protects pastors, but churches, church property, and religious organizations.
Here is a link to our testimony. Here is a link to the bill's language. Please feel free to phone our office with any questions.
Sincerely,
Christopher R. Long Ohio Christian Alliance 330-887-1922 phone 330-247-9902 fax oca@ohioca.org email |
