Justice Sunday
The church was the focus of national attention in April 2005 when it hosted Justice Sunday, a rally where politically-active conservative Evangelical Christians gathered to protest efforts by the United States Senate to filibuster conservative-leaning candidates for judgeships in the federal courts. The event attracted leading members of the conservative Christian movement, including James Dobson and R. Albert Mohler, Jr. The event was widely covered by the news media, and also was protested by critics of the movement. It was the first of three such events to date, with the others held in Nashville, Tennessee and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
