Gerald Groff was a postal worker in rural Pennsylvania. As a former Mennonite missionary his faith is important to him.
He requested, and was granted, Sunday’s off to accommodate his religious beliefs about not working seven days. But eventually his supervisor said she was not going to put up with it any longer.
Mr. Groff felt he had no choice but to resign. His case is now coming before the Supreme Court.
Exodus 31:15 says, “For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord.”
The law says that employers must accommodate the religious beliefs of workers unless it causes an undue hardship. Pray that the justices are reasonable in allowing for our religious freedoms in the workplace.
