Philadelphia, Pa. — “Proclaim liberty throughout the land (Lev 25 :10).”

It’s not every morning that you happen to wake up looking down at Independence Hall. It just happens to be the room you got as the cheaper option on a hotel discount app when swinging by the Constitution Center for the Becket Fund’s annual dinner. For the semiquincentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this is the place to be for an organization — a ministry, really — dedicated to keeping America free, defending religious liberty in court, fighting for the rights of Americans to believe or not to believe.
