Rev. Keith and Sharon Felton:

We support the BJC financially because ...

The Baptist Joint Committee is our advocate in Washington, D.C. and throughout the country for religious liberty and separation of church and state. In light of the current political and religious climate and the attempts to tear down the wall of separation, a Center for Religious Liberty on Capitol Hill is long overdue. The opportunities for education, for training, and for expanding the reach of the BJC multiply exponentially with such a facility. Our freedom is fragile, sometimes seeming to teeter on the brink, but the BJC stands firm and strong. It is the voice, our voice fighting to shore up the wall and secure freedom for all people.

Supporting the BJC through financial gifts, participation and prayer, fights for faith and church. Giving keeps government out of our pulpits and our pews. We give so that the BJC can do all that needs to be done to make certain our children and yours grow up in an world where freedom of religion is valued for all people and faith flourishes without the intrusion of government.

Keith, pastor of First Baptist Church, Hamilton, Texas and Sharon Felton, are long-time BJC supporters.
