April 17, 2002

    H. 5013

S. Printed 4/17/02--S.

Read the first time April 4, 2002.

    To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 5013) to declare April as "South Carolina Christian Heritage Month", respectfully

    Has polled the Concurrent Resolution out majority favorable.

TO DECLARE APRIL AS "SOUTH CAROLINA CHRISTIAN HERITAGE MONTH".

Whereas, Christianity is an integral part of our Western civilization and the history of this nation; and

Whereas, America was founded on the principle of religious freedom, and many Americans have benefited from this privilege by being able to pursue Christianity as a means of developing one's own faith; and

Whereas, commemorating America's Christian heritage provides an opportunity for those choosing to participate to thank God for His blessings of liberty, to ask His help in reassuring domestic tranquility, and to recognize our national need to reaffirm our reliance on the protection of divine providence in keeping America a free and independent nation; and

Whereas, Christianity has been a major influence in American art, literature, and music and has inspired a sense of charity in our communities; and

Whereas, Christianity has long provided inspiration, hope, and comfort for millions of Americans and will continue to do so in the years ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, declare April "South Carolina Christian Heritage Month".
