PROCLAMATION BY

GOVERNOR CARROLL A. CAMPBELL, JR.

ON

CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK

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 Congress and the General Assembly of this state; 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; and

WHEREAS,  it is appropriate to recognize the Pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving for God’s providence as a special time and reason for celebrating our nation’s Christian heritage.

NOW, THEREFORE, I Carroll A. Campbell, Jr., Governor of the state of South Carolina, do hereby proclaim November 20 – 26, 1994 as CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK in South Carolina.

Carroll A. Campbell, Jr.
