Reps. Beeler, Aiyash, Slagh, Hall, Meerman and Damoose offered the following resolution:
A resolution to declare December 3, 2021, as Children of Abraham Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The United States is a tapestry comprising all religious faiths, predominant among them are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; and
Whereas, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have a shared connection to Abraham and recognize this historical connection; and
Whereas, As followers of these faiths, they practice their faith and are called to embrace a spirit of religious toleration as Americans; and
Whereas, The freedom of religion is enshrined as an inseparable cornerstone of American government and public life that guarantees the right of religious expression; and
Whereas, This religious toleration is exemplary not only of their shared heritage in faith but also their patriotism; and
Whereas, Recognizing the importance of religious expression, a shared heritage, and a patriotic spirit of toleration; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 3, 2021, as Children of Abraham day in the state of Michigan.
