Christians Urged to Get Permits for Public Nativity Displays
WASHINGTON (AP) - Christians are being urged to apply for permits to set up Nativity scenes in city parks and other public places.
The Reverend Patrick Mahoney says that way, people of faith can combat what he views as a growing anti-religious bias with the Christmas message of peace and good will.
Mahoney heads the Washington-based Christian Defense Coalition, which today is launching what it calls "The Nativity Project: A public witness to keep Christ in Christmas."
He says the public square should be open to all ideas and opinions, including religious ones. Mahoney adds that Christian law firms are available to help any believers who are denied permits for Nativity displays.
