Trump Establishes White House Faith Office to Support Religious Liberty

The new office, led by Pastor Paula White-Cain, aims to empower faith-based entities, combat anti-religious bias, and promote federal collaboration with religious organizations.

President Trump signed an executive order creating the White House Faith Office, housed under the Domestic Policy Council, to empower faith-based organizations and defend religious freedoms.
Pastor Paula White-Cain, a longtime Trump advisor, will lead the office, which will consult with faith leaders and experts on issues such as religious liberty, family strengthening, and community support.
The office will work with federal agencies to identify religious liberty protections, provide training, and promote grant opportunities for faith-based nonprofits and community organizations.
A related task force, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, has been established to address anti-Christian bias and ensure religious freedoms across federal institutions.
Critics, including the ACLU, have raised concerns about potential erosion of the separation of church and state, pointing to existing constitutional protections for religious freedom.
