An executive order was reportedly signed by President Trump on Friday to establish a new White House Faith Office.
This was done in an effort to support organizations that are based on religious beliefs.
According to the decree, the office will be a part of the Domestic Policy Council and will be led by a senior adviser who will be tasked with meeting with various faith and community leaders in an effort to safeguard religious liberty and battle antisemitism, anti-Christianity, and other forms of anti-religious intolerance.
At the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this week, the President made the announcement of the new position, stating that it will be overseen by the Reverend Paula White, who has been a religious advisor to him for many years.
According to the order, President Trump instructed the office to find methods to lessen the restrictions placed on the right to freely practice religion and to instruct all federal agencies to select a “faith liaison” within the next ninety days.
Earlier this week, President Trump announced that Attorney General Pam Bondi would be appointed to the position of head of a task force to “eradicate anti-Christian bias.”
The office that would be located inside the White House would cooperate with Attorney General Bondi.
Additionally, the office will provide guidance on policies that can facilitate the acquisition of grants by faith-based organizations, will collaborate with other organizations to provide training and education for faith-based organizations, and will provide assistance to organizations in the process of developing training on religious liberty exceptions and accommodations.
Additionally, it will be tasked with the responsibility of consulting with private enterprises regarding charitable giving and payroll deductions, as well as collaborating with agencies for the promotion of grant possibilities for faith-based nonprofit organizations.
