Proclamation
By
Governor David M. Beasley
WHEREAS, at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 Benjamin Franklin stated that “It is impossible to build an empire without our Father’s aid. I believe the sacred writings which say that ‘Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it,’” (Psalm 127:1); and
WHEREAS, we each have been richly blessed by The Almighty whose divine providence our founding fathers sought as they established these United States of America as a free and independent nation: and
WHEREAS, the contributions of faith and traditions of our people are often reflected in the prayers offered preceding each day’s opening of the General Assembly of this state and the United States Congress; and
WHEREAS, the importance of our Christian heritage to the institutions, values and vision of our nation is immeasurable; and
WHEREAS, our Christian heritage is further reflected by our people and our leaders, past and present, in our individual and collective efforts as a nation of peacekeepers and peacemakers to provide for other people, both in America and abroad, by providing humanitarian assistance to our fellow men, women and children.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, David M. Beasley, Governor of the Great State of South Carolina, do hereby proclaim March 15-21, 1998 as
CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK
in South Carolina.
