A New Hampshire mother is now returning to her children's high school campus to pray for students each morning after coming to an agreement with school officials.
Lizarda Urena has come to an agreement with Concord High School officials: She can continue praying on the campus as long as she does it silently.
Matt Sharp of Alliance Defending Freedom says she has no problem with that, likening it to Jesus’ admonition that people shouldn’t prayer to show off for others.
“From her point of view," Sharp explains, "she just wanted to be there to be able to support and do what she can do, and what she believes as a Christian is important for her to do to continue to the school and to the safety of all the students there.”
OneNewsNow has reported on Urena's pursuit to prayer after bullets were found in a school restroom.
“So many school districts often cave in when they get threats from Freedom from Religion and other groups,” he notes.
He credits Concord school officials for supporting a “good neutral policy” that treats people equally.
“When schools have such policies, they have nothing to fear from these groups that seek to exclude religious parents from being able to express their faith,” says the ADF attorney.
