Religious Rights Organization Changes Its Name

The group Alliance Defense Fund, an important litigant in religious liberty cases, announced yesterday that it is changing its name to "Alliance Defending Freedom," with a tag line "For Faith. For Justice." The change was explained as one intended to help people more easily understand the group's work and why it matters. An FAQ page describes ADF as: "an alliance-building legal ministry encouraging Christians to come together to ... protect and defend the religious freedom that was bestowed upon us by God and secured in the U.S. Constitution."
