Random acts of vandalism to the Boise and Idaho Falls Temples. as well as to churches and seminaries unfortunately continue today. Religious persecution has no place in Birmingham. AL. or Boise. ID. Our Founding Fathers enshrined religious freedom in the first amendment. They knew worship strengthens our daily lives. They knew that Americans held. and would continue to hold. differing religious convictions. They also knew America stands for freedom and that thousands of immigrants had come to these shores seeking refuge from religious persecution. My prayers go out to those parishioners whose churches have been bombed. burned. or threatened. The faith that helped their forefathers through the worst days of slavery and suffering will carry them through now.
