SAMPLE MESSAGE GUIDANCE (put in your own words!)

  • Every child regardless of race, background, or zip code should be loved & live in a supportive family.
  • But, the national group, Alliance Defending Freedom, is getting in the middle of Tennessee adoptions and they’ve now blocked a child from receiving two welcoming and loving parents, just because their Jewish faith.
  • Whether we worship at a church, mosque, synagogue, or temple, America has no second-class faiths. All are equal under the U.S. Constitution.
  • Throughout both the Old and New Testament, Scripture calls on Christians to care for widows and orphans. Punishing loving families who take this commandment seriously, and denying a child loving parents, is contrary to the values of our faith and desecrates the Word of God.
  • It is also the kind of hate that should have no home in our community.
  • We must speak in one voice condemning groups seeking to distort faith to justify an agenda that brings harm to our communities and contradicts the values of our faith.
  • Ask: Will you do your part to prevent this anti-Semitic attack on family and freedom of religion from spreading further in Tennessee by adopting a "Hate Has No Home Here" resolution calling on Alliance Defending Freedom to stay out of our community with their hateful agenda?
