The bill\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidernj.com\/press-release\/pascrell-celebrates-nonprofit-security-grant-authorization\/\">passed<\/a>\u00a0the U.S. House by voice vote and passed through the Senate via Unanimous Consent.<\/p>\n<p>The move follows increasing anti-Semitic violence and attacks in New York and New Jersey and, most notably, two separate synagogue shootings that occurred in Poway, California, in April and in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in October 2018.<\/p>\n<p>For Christian churches, the issue of taking more steps toward greater security measures rose to the fore following the massacre at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, where 26 people were shot and killed in November 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Such considerations are being discussed again after a shooter entered a church in White Settlement, Texas, late last month and began shooting. Two were killed but the shooter was taken out by an armed member of the congregation, Jack Wilson, who was the head of the congregation\u2019s volunteer security team. His quick action\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/71-year-old-volunteer-security-guard-gets-texas-highest-civilian-honor-for-stopping-church-shooter.html\">was praised as heroic<\/a>\u00a0and was credited with preventing further carnage.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2020\/01\/21\/texas-churches-arming-volunteer-security-after-white-settlement\/\">Texas Tribune<\/a>\u00a0reported last week that the Krugerville, Texas-based National Organization for Church Security and Safety Management has seen an increase in interest in the past few weeks in light of the recent church shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Clarity Technologies Group, LLC has installed and maintains several security systems for Houses of Warship around the country.
