Donald Trump s departure from the White House and the start of Joe Biden’s presidency have stirred new hopes among many religious leaders in the United States, while causing dismay among others.
Here’s a look at some of the issues that major faiths will be grappling with as the new administration takes shape.
ABORTION
For leaders of the two largest Christian denominations in the U.S. the Roman Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention the paramount concern about the Biden administration is its strong support for abortion rights.
Biden, a practicing Catholic, already has rolled back some Trump policies aimed at curbing abortion access. On Jan. 22, the 48th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision establishing a nationwide right to abortion, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris said they would seek to enshrine that right into federal law to protect it from court challenges.
