Amy Coney Barrett was a paid speaker five times at the Blackstone Legal Fellowship, founded to show law students “how God can use them as judges, law professors and practicing attorneys to help keep the door open for the spread of the Gospel in America.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/coney-barrett-christian-law-fellowship-blackstone/2020/09/27/7ae41892-fdc5-11ea-b555-4d71a9254f4b_story.html

Blackstone is run by Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal advocacy group whose founding leader has questioned the “so-called separation of church and state” as it is often understood.

A suggested reading list for the fellowship, published on Blackstone’s site in most of the years Barrett spoke, included “The Homosexual Agenda,” co-authored by that founding leader, who wrote that same-sex relationships led to “despair, disease and early death.”

In 2017, asked about ADF's stance on LGBTQ rights, Barrett told senators that she learned Blackstone was run by ADF only after she agreed to speak there.

She spoke at Blackstone in five separate years, four times in Phoenix and once in Alexandria, Va.

In response to our questions, White House said in part: “Judge Barrett has said that as a judge she’s not a policymaker and that it’s not appropriate for her or any judge to follow their personal convictions in deciding a case."

Barrett herself has said: “I don’t feel like affiliation with a group commits me to all of that group’s policy positions."
