“They said separation of church and state, they told me. I said, let’s forget about that for one time. We said, really? Separation? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I’m not sure,” Trump remarked during the Rose Garden ceremony.
“But whether there’s separation or not, you guys are in the White House where you should be, and you’re representing our country,” Trump told faith leaders at the event, adding, “We’re bringing religion back to our country.”

Trump signed an executive order, first reported by The Daily Wire, establishing the Religious Liberty Commission to be composed of church clergy, legal experts, and other Trump allies tasked with identifying “threats to domestic religious liberty,” such as attacks on houses of worship and First Amendment violations, and recommending protective actions. …
The Religious Liberty Commission is expected to hold its first formal meeting within the next several weeks, with the commission set to “terminate on July 4, 2026, which marks the 250th anniversary of American Independence, unless extended by the President.”
We prayed about this new commission on May’s edition of First Friday. You watch that webcast in the embedded player below.
