We have been working closely with a Christian ecumenical group to fight pornography called Pure Hope (formerly the Coalition for the Protection of Women and Children), here in Kansas City, to oppose rezoning for sexually oriented businesses (e.g., the Temptations Club in the Power and Light District near the new Sprint Arena) and co-sponsor purity conferences.
