Together We Must Work for a Christian America
A reader reflects on the Centennial Celebration of RCA Women’s Classical Union featuring speaker Maria Anne Hirschman known as Hansi. The letter critiques reliance on love and freedom without Jesus, notes abortion and secular education concerns, and urges Christians to engage in prayer and political action through NACPA, grassroots involvement, and possibly a Christian party to influence public life. It warns against idolizing American past and warns against Bicentennial flag worship.
