No more Bible study! Beaumont, Texas’ men and women in blue have been told they can no longer hold a voluntary Bible study during lunch at the police station. After meeting like this for years, with no complaints, the City of Beaumont has demanded that the officers stop.
A pre-suit letter, which is required by the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act, is being sent to the city stating that the officers’ religious rights have been infringed upon.
Sargent Burt Moore, who helped found the Faith and Fellowship Bible study, pointed out that the City Council prays before its meetings and the police station will start an event with prayer as well.
He also said that there is a chaplain program which still meets at the station. The study he says has a diverse group of faiths and ethnicities coming together for the study and believes the City is “unfairly targeting us.”

I like that.
Obummer strikes again.
There is a silent majority that will not be pushed around…welcome to the obvious situation
In Texas, who the hell ordered the cop to stop people from praying, & did he actually do it?
This is no longer America. I don’t understand how we put up with the BS.
Constitution under attack
I live in Beaumont. …this is news to me? We’ve heard nothing about it locally…
Talk back to these people, who do they think they are. Freedom of Religion is not restricted to ones home. Atlanta, Ga just found that out.
If its on state time, property or in uniform the Seperation of church and state should prevail. Plus this is the best way to stop every other religion from getting to put their representation there. Off state time property etc who cares?
Cops have rights also
