FBC Members Participate in Prayer Vigil at the U. S. Capitol

At sunrise on January 6, 2023, Pastors Julie and Eric, along with Amanda Tyler and Leslie Alford Mason, gathered with Christian leaders for a prayer vigil marking the 2nd anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol (organized by BJC's Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign and Faithful America.

“It’s up to all communities, and I think particularly Christian faith communities, to understand what Christian nationalism is, to talk about what role it plays on attacks on democracy, not just on Jan. 6, but continuing attacks with election denial, and conspiracy theories,” said Amanda Tyler, executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, before the event.

BJC Executive Director Amanda Tyler speaks to the press.

Rev. Dr. Leslie Copeland-Tune, COO of the National Council of Churches, prays at the vigil.
