Faulkner: ‘I’ve Been Asked to Leave a Restaurant for Openly Bowing My Head in Prayer Hands’

EXCERPT:

FAULKNER: “For those of us who believe, we must be bold in our faith right now. When you gather in public spaces, pray thankfully over your food, even when the server gives you the stink eye or tells the manager  peaceful grace is triggering them. I had it happen to me. I’ve been asked to leave a restaurant for openly bowing my head in prayer hands -- in America! It’s all good. They don’t deserve my money anyway. Corporations are learning this the hard way as they choose odd course of DEI public relations, make that choice over the people who actually keep the lights on. My faith determines my values, and I hope you are living by your values and what brings you joy and peace and love. And I believe people can love who they want. Be free. Be happy. Just don’t force me to bend to your will and your belief system simply because you feel a certain way. Enough is enough.”
