Pray for Upcoming Supreme Court Case

For all of you who love student ministry (be that through InterVarsity, Crusade, Navigators, Young Life or any of the other great ministries out there), you might want to keep your eyes on this upcoming Supreme Court case (http://www.intervarsity.org/news/campus-faith-freedom-alert).  How the court rules will have significant implications.

In short, the Supreme Court will decide in late spring "whether a public university law school may deny school funding and other benefits to a religious student organization because the group requires its officers and voting members to agree with its core religious viewpoints".

While there have been many cases similar to this in the past, they have all been heard at the lower court levels.  And currently two of the lower courts have offered differing rulings on the matter which is why the Supreme Court has chosen to hear the case.  So if you think of it, pray for the hearing that will happen in late spring.
