Christians in Virginia plan 40-day fast to protest gay marriage

A Christian group in Virginia is planning a 40-day fast to promote its conservative definition of marriage.

 

The Family Foundation of Virginia is encouraging pastors and congregations to fast between Aug. 27 and Oct. 5 to fight against the legalization of gay marriage — in Virginia and around the country.

 

“Our nation, built on a Judeo-Christian foundation, has been greatly blessed by the Lord, but instead of being thankful, we have turned our back on the Lord and His teachings and have and followed after other gods,” the organization said in a press release. “That is why we are asking you to join us zealously in humility and fasting in repentance before God and implore Him to heal our land.”
