SAN DIEGO 'DECRIMINALIZES' HOME BIBLE STUDIES (Guests reside in Pacific and Eastern Times)
When San Diego County officials tried to fine a couple tens of thousands of dollars for lack of a permit to hold a Bible study in their home, Talk Show hosts and listeners took action.
They said enough is enough and they fought back against the flagrant breach of First Amendment rights.
Alan Reinach, President of the North American Religious Liberty Association–West, and Jim Jacobson, President of Christian Freedom International (CFI), are available for interviews to applaud the talk show programs and audiences like yours that put the pressure on the perpetrators. But, more importantly, they’re also prepared to use this victory for the sake of increasing awareness and inspiring more action.
In that Reinach earns a living as an attorney serving clients suffering from religious discrimination and Jacobson travels the world as the director of a leading religious humanitarian organization, both have witnessed time and again the growing trend of Christian persecution, often an exercise of violent oppression, coercion and murder—like when Muslim or Hindu factions throughout Asia and the Middle East bully and kill Christian “non believers” who won’t convert.
Both of your guests have stories that must be told and a truth that must be realized. Don’t let the outrage stop in San Diego. Schedule an interview with Alan Reinach and Jim Jacobson right now.
ABOUT YOUR SPEAKERS:
ALAN J. REINACH, ESQ.
Alan serves as the Director of the Church State Council and President of the North American Religious Liberty Association–West. He is an attorney and a Seventh-day Adventist minister. A graduate of the State University of New York, in New Paltz, with special honors in history, in 1984, and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill School of Law, in 1987.
Reinach represents employees who have suffered religious discrimination, and has filed briefs in religious liberty cases in state and Federal courts, and in the California and United States Supreme Court.
When he’s not in court, Alan maintains an extensive speaking schedule, hosts the weekly radio program, Freedom’s Ring, and appears regularly on radio interviews throughout the nation. He also regularly publishes articles on religious freedom. Alan is a passionate advocate of liberty of conscience.
As a young man coming of age in the 70s, he struggled to know God, examining the religious teachings of various traditions. He saw friends taken captive to religious cults, and was wary of getting into something that he couldn’t get out of. God’s gracious commitment to respecting human freedom made it possible for him to experience Christian conversion without fear of being trapped or conned. He has dedicated his life to serving God, and to championing an understanding of God’s character – i.e., that a loving God gives freedom, and does not coerce the conscience.
JIM JACOBSON
Before CFI, Mr. Jacobson served as a policy analyst in the Reagan White House, served as political appointee in the administration of George Herbert Walker Bush, and was a senior legislative assistant in the U.S. Senate. He was elected for a four-year term to the Warren County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors.
In his career he has testified before Congress, conducted briefings at the White House, State Department, and the United Nations. Jim has personally brought aid, smuggled Bibles, and provided advocacy to Christians in many countries in the past 10 years. He frequently travels into restricted countries—overtly and covertly—where Christians are severely persecuted for their faith, including active war zones.
Mr. Jacobson is a graduate of the University of Michigan. He and his wife Karen have four children and have been married for more than 20 years.
