[1] Christian Pastors and National Leaders Travel to Houston, Texas on Tuesday 28 October 2014 to Hold News Conference Calling for Mayor Parker to Withdraw Subpoenas to Local Pastors
The City of Houston, Texas has demanded pastors turn over all their speeches, presentations and other materials related to their comments on the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO).
The Christian Defense Coalition, the National Clergy Council and the League for the Defense of Pastors held a news conference Tuesday, 28 October 28 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in Houston, Texas, went to Mayor Parker's office in hopes of securing a face to face meeting to share their concerns. The mayor agreed to the meeting and met with the pastors at 3:30 p.m. local time.
The faith leaders additionally discussed launching a national campaign to address Houston's troubling crushing of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and religious freedom should Houston fail to withdraw the subpoenas.
Rev. Rob Schenck, President of the National Clergy Council, stated:
"Regardless of what the mayor's and city's intentions are or were, this is an egregious violation of a fundamental human rights and constitutionally protected freedom. History proves violations like this must be challenged early and relentlessly.
"Church leaders of all denominations are organizing to support our colleagues in Houston. We will not rest until justice is preserved and protected."
Reformed Presbyterian minister the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, added:
"Mayor Parker, it is troubling that your city has moved forward with such invasive actions which trample religious freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment. This appears to be an attempt by your Administration to intimidate and silence pastors, churches and community leaders will disagree with you on HERO.
"It is our hope that Houston would foster policies that would create an atmosphere of tolerance and openness in the public square and embrace the principles of free speech and the First Amendment.
"It is important for you to understand that pastors and churches all across America and standing in solidarity with the 'Houston Five,' as we fully understand this is not just an attack on five local pastors but an attack on every church and pulpit in America.
"In light of that, if the City of Houston continues to move forward with these subpoenas, potential fines and imprisonment for these pastors who refuse to comply, we will give a national call inviting thousands of Christians to come to Houston and stand for religious freedom, the First Amendment and free speech."
Rev. Keith Tucci, President of the League for the Defense of Christian Pastors, shared:
"The intolerance and misuse of power will not be treated as an inconvenience but a violation to worship God freely."

[3] Trinity Foundation Publishes Thales to Dewey: A History of Philosophy, The Works of Gordon Haddon Clark in eBook Format
The Trinity Foundation has published Thales to Dewey: A History of Philosophy, The Works of Gordon Haddon Clark in eBook format, which is available for download for US$4.00 at:
http://www.trinitylectures.org/thales-to-dewey-history-of-philosophy-the-works-of-gordon-haddon-clark-book-p-212.html?_ga=1.71658971.918777921.1414458081
"Greek philosophy began on May 28, 585 B.C., at 6:13 in the evening." With this arresting statement, Dr. Clark begins his masterful and unparalleled account of the history of Western Philosophy. Thales to Dewey does not attempt to be an encyclopedia of philosophy, but focuses primarily on the theories of knowledge advanced by the major philosophers. By focusing his book in this fashion, Dr. Clark is able to present the most important ideas of the philosophers clearly and adequately, rather than confusing the reader with cursory accounts of too many ideas. This is the best one-volume history of philosophy in print. No Christian should be without it.
