Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer thanked the Baptist Joint Committee for filing briefs before the High Court, saying at the Oct. 1 opening of the BJC’s new Center for Religious Liberty on Capitol Hill that “when you file briefs, they help.”
From the October 2012 Report from the Capital
By J. Brent Walker, BJC Executive Director
I eagerly anticipate the Baptist Joint Committee’s board meeting each October. In fact, the whole staff does because we draw such energy and encouragement through our interaction with this talented and involved group representing the BJC’s 15 member bodies. This year, however, the board meeting also marked a renewal of the BJC in many ways as we celebrated the opening of the Center for Religious Liberty.
By K. Hollyn Hollman, BJC General Counsel
With the opening of the Center for Religious Liberty, the BJC is poised to strengthen its advocacy in the nation’s capital and beyond. As we celebrate this new beginning, we also rededicate ourselves to our mission and to expanding our reach in the future.
The Center for Religious Liberty on Capitol Hill opened Oct. 1, 2012.
On Oct. 1, members of the First 16 gathered to dedicate the Baugh-Walker Conference Suite, named for BJC supporter Babs Baugh and BJC Executive Director J. Brent Walker.
