Advocates is representing Prison Ministry of America (PMA), a non-profit Christian organization started in 1926 that provides prison inmates with Bibles, prayer, discipleship, and worship services. PMA is being sued by a Muslim religious leader who claims that PMA’s chaplain application, which had a Christian statement of faith, was discriminatory. Typically, a private non-profit has the right to require a statement of faith. The legal issue here is that PMA was hired by Prince George's County Maryland to administer chaplain services to prisons throughout the county. The Muslim plaintiff is suing PMA, claiming PMA was basically acting as the government, which does not have a right to require a statement of faith. Advocates is seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed as it completely lacks merit.
