Tune in and be updated on the following Adventist news: Brazil’s Supreme Federal Tribunal granted additional protections for Sabbath-keeping public employees in the country. The nation’s highest judicial body with its 11 justices decided over the appeals of two Seventh-day Adventists, Margarete da Silva Mateus Furquim and Geismario Silva dos Santos, whose cases were related to keeping the Sabbath (Saturday) as a holy day. The decision will now become the governing decisions for future cases in lower courts throughout the nation.
