PROCLAMATION

America’s Christian Heritage Week

WHEREAS, America’s Christian Heritage Week provides an opportunity to be united as “one Nation under God” and to better understand that the source of our liberties and rights is God, not government (as governments are to secure our God given rights); and     

WHEREAS, it refutes false teachings about America’s Christian heritage and become educated about America’s founding documents; and

WHEREAS, it proves today’s “separation of church and state” is not the intent of America’s founding documents nor intended by the founders; and

WHEREAS, it motivates Christians to seek public office and be “salt/light” in their communities, and to hope and pray that skeptics will have a change of heart, getting America back to God.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Phillip A. Pennino, Mayor of the City of Lodi, do hereby proclaim the week of November 23-29, 1997 as “America’s Christian Heritage Week” in the City of Lodi, urging all citizens to acknowledge and appreciate our heritage and freedom.

SIGNED this 19^thday of November, 1997.

Phillip A. Pennino

Mayor, City of Lodi
