In the news this week political turmoil surrounding the County Clerk Kim Davis in Morehead Kentucky who was sent to prison for refusing to issue marriage licenses.  Her refusal, she says, was based on opposition to the US Supreme Court ruling which mandated that all States must start issuing those licenses to same-sex couples.  Davis argued she couldn’t do that in violation of her Christian worldview.
