Assisting Africans in Supporting Pro-Life and Pro-Family Values
The growing cultural war is not unique to the United States. The ACLJ has been at the forefront in this country and abroad working to protect life and defend pro-family policies. Recently, a highly biased report published by the liberal Political Research Associates accused the ACLJ and other faith-based western groups of importing anti-abortion and homophobic political agendas into Africa with the intent to “establish a new legal infrastructure on the African continent that reflects the ...

The Literal Separation of Church and State in Kenya
In 2010, the East Africa Centre for Law & Justice (EACLJ) opened in Kenya. As the Executive Director of the EACLJ, I have fought to prevent the legalization of abortion in Kenya’s new constitution, and I am working with pastors to educate and mobilize the Christian community in Kenya. The fight has continued in our efforts to prevent the persecution of the church at the hands of the government. The granting of new “rights” by the government has in fact allowed the governmen...

But at least one Obama grantee did just that and more. The r... Continue Reading

East African Centre for Law and Justice (EACLJ) - Activity Report for May 2010
The month of May saw the East Africa Centre for Law and Justice (EACLJ) conduct civic education ahead of the August 2010 referendum on the new constitution in Kenya. The main aim of the civic education was to educate Kenyans on the contents of the draft constitution and empower them to make informed decisions as they cast their votes to make it the law of the land in August. The EACLJ stands on the No side (those who reject the draft constitution and would not vote for it) because it has contentious issues that were raised by church leaders; and the committee of experts who were tasked with the work of drafting the document chose to ignore the church leaders voices. The church is against a clause that, if passed, could easily legalize abortion and another one that includes Islam in the judiciary, which is an arm of the government. This contradicts the governments stand that all religions shall be treated equally. The government agrees that the document has flaws and is convincing ... Continue Reading
