Faith & Freedom Coalition Executive Director Tim Head praised today’s announcement, “Once again President Trump delivered on his promises to the faith community with the formation of a White House office to organize the federal government to work alongside faith-based organizations to deliver more effective solutions to poverty, protect religious liberty, and defend the sanctity of human life.”
