Presidents? Day is when many Americans honor the country?s past commanders-in-chief. At the Christian Heritage Center in Fishersville, Thomas Jefferson was not on the list of honorees Monday. It was the day a call to arms went out, to Christians everywhere, to band together and fight religious persecution they encounter even today. It was the day to recognize the perpetrator, that ?enemy of the Gospel? - Jefferson, according to Christian Heritage officials. The new religious group, which recently built a complex on a hilltop overlooking Interstate 64 at Tinkling Spring Road, pronounced Jefferson ?the anti-Christian? and George Washington?s opposite. Religious group challenges 'traditional' history Gina Farthing The News Virginian Tuesday, February 22, 2005 Jefferson, they said, ?feigned belief in God to achieve his own political ends and came to sever Jesus Christ from his divinity.? Greg Humphries portrayed Parson John Craig, Augusta County?s first parson, during the staging of a frontier church service. Humphries is president and founder of the year-old organization. Along with supporting the Christian Heritage Center, Linked in Christ also supports the ministries of the Colonial Frontier Church, the Christian Heritage Archives and Museum, an interactive Internet Church, an international Christian heritage fellowship and other ministries. Humphries says the foundation?s mission is to bring together the different groups of Christians. ?We want to bring the Body of Christ back together, all of its members,? he says. ?We?re trying to bring all the histories together. How can we get along with one another when we don?t know the history of the other group? We?re saying to come and share it. ?We?re not loving one another, we?re too busy doing other things,? he says. In addition to Humphries, Bill Dolack played the role of John Lewis, believed to be Augusta?s first white settler; Rod Fritts played the Rev. Samuel Davies, known as the ?Apostle to Virginia;? Howie Campbell was Gen. Andrew Lewis, a George Washington friend and hero of the Point Pleasant revolutionary battle. Each actor cited examples to suggest Jefferson was the enemy of Christians and that Washington was a model Christian, who walked the walk - even begging forgiveness from God when his prayers were not fervent enough. ?Jefferson came disguised as an angel of light by appealing to reason instead of faith - to works instead of the cross,? Humphries said. ?His purpose ? was taught by Voltaire, Locke, Paine and Priestly. They become ? wolves in sheep?s clothing,? he said. Campbell finished the service by bringing the crowd to its feet and striking up ?God Bless America.? He reminded the crowd that the current president, George W. Bush, has Jesus Christ as Lord and master and is a good example to today?s young people. Contact Gina Farthing at gfarthing@newsvirginian.com
