2022 BJC Fellows
BJC welcomed the seventh class of BJC Fellows in 2022 to Colonial Williamsburg to hear from historical interpreters as well as BJC staff members and other experts about the historical, legal and theological underpinnings of religious liberty.
After attending the BJC Fellows Seminar, I understand more clearly that it is the details of how we form our ‘more perfect union,’ establish justice, and the ‘blessings of liberty’ where the beauty and strength of our commitment can be found.
BJC provided a different way to look at things, both in and outside of religion. As a Believer, I came with my own beliefs and was interested in seeing how similar or dissimilar the beliefs and experiences of others were to mine.

Learning in Action
The BJC Fellows come from diverse theological, educational and geographic backgrounds, and they are united in their call to defend this foundational American ideal.
The BJC Fellows completed an intensive, five-day training seminar in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, to equip them for advocacy to protect faith freedom for all.
BJC staff and other legal and theological experts, plus Colonial Williamsburg’s own historic interpreters, provided them with a rapid education in the historical, legal and theological underpinnings of religious liberty.
“As the Supreme Court continues to erode the institutional separation of church and state, it’s a critical time to continue BJC’s educational efforts equipping leaders to be ready to stand for faith freedom for all in our communities,” said Charles Watson Jr., director of education at BJC.
“We’re proud to work with an inspiring group of young professionals to create a firm foundation as we study and explore the foundations for faith freedom for all,” Watson said. “These leaders are developing new tools for future advocacy to make a difference in their local communities and across the country.”
