Trump Establishes White House Faith Office to Promote Religious Liberty

At the National Prayer Breakfast, President Donald Trump announced the establishment of a new Faith Office within the White House, aimed at supporting religious liberty and addressing anti-Christian bias in federal agencies. The office, to be led by Rev. Paula White-Cain, will focus on drafting policies that promote the rights of faith-based organizations and ensure they receive equal treatment in government programs. Alongside this initiative, Trump revealed plans for a task force dedicated to combating what he described as the 'weaponization' of government against Christians. The Faith Office's priorities will include addressing poverty, strengthening families, and enhancing education and health services. Critics have raised concerns about the implications of this office, particularly regarding the influence of the prosperity gospel, which White endorses. Despite the administration's assurances, the practical impact of the Faith Office on public policy remains to be seen.
