Special Guests: VCA Leaders Don Blake and Greene Hollowell On WAZT-TV and Online HERE Anytime
A Special Valley
We know the Valley is special in so many different ways. It’s in the beauty of the landscape; the productivity of the land; the faith and industry of the people; and the salt-and-light influence of our churches, pastors, and teachers.
It’s also in the great group of Valley legislators who fight for us and our most deeply held values of Life, Faith, Family, and Freedom at the General Assembly in Richmond.
And then there’s the Shenandoah Christian Alliance now anchoring the north end of the Valley in Front Royal around a group of pastors and other civic-minded Christian patriots.
Friends across the Mountain
But what about the other side of the mountain? Do they have the same love of God & Country that we do here?
Are they also concerned about the moral meltdown that we see in so much of our culture and at the top levels of our government? If so, who are they, and what are some of the ways that we can partner together to help advance Kingdom values throughout the Commonwealth?
For starters, we have groups in Richmond like The Family Foundation, which works closely with Virginia legislators every year in the Great Civil War of Values, fighting to advance good bills and defeat the bad ones that come before the General Assembly.
There’s also the Virginia Christian Alliance (VCA). It took the lead three years ago in calling for the disbarment and/or impeachment of Attorney General Mark Herring because he violated his oath to defend the laws of Virginia – including our marriage law which was firmly embedded in our state constitution in 2006 by the popular vote of the people.
VCA continues to stand up and speak out boldly for Judeo-Christian values wherever and whenever they are challenged. So, who are they, what do they do, and why does it matter?
