For 75 years, The Maclellan Foundation has been making financial investments to help Christians thrive, both in the US and around the world. The Foundation’s leaders believe shifting cultural dynamics have put First Amendment rights under considerable pressure—an urgent issue not only for Christians, but for all Americans—and that this research can help us better understand the stakes and the possible solutions. The Maclellan Foundation is pleased to partner with Barna Group to sponsor this important research on our shared religious freedoms.
