Randall Christy, pastor at Union Valley Church, Founder of the Gospel Station Network tells HisAir.Net, “The Oklahoma senators are behind us. ECU has agreed to wait to see what happens in court before they cut down the cross from atop their 60-year-old Boswell Chapel (built with funds donated by the Boswell family). They DID remove the crosses and Bibles from inside the chapel, but Thanks to the public outcry and support from ECU administration and Oklahoma lawmakers, the cross, alter, and bibles have been put back inside the chapel. The Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter has agreed to fight this AND the Liberty Council has pledged to assist, . At this time, we are preparing to fight a battle if so needed. Oklahoma Attorney General Michael Hunter recently told the Tulsa World this could be a test case that would affect the entire USA.
