Michael Yancey then introduced our guest speaker Matt Rawlings of the Alliance Defense Fund. Mr. Rawlings explained the functions and goals of the ADF which is based in Scottsdale Arizona. Their work consists of three priorities - Life, Marriage, and Religious Freedom. They bring organizations together for an alliance to pursue these goals. He gave a very interesting and enlightening presentation, followed by questions from the audience.
Michael then told everyone they should not get discouraged with all that is happening because it is going to take time and all our involvement to change things. There is only so much one group can do about what happens in Washington D.C. He said where we can really make a difference is right here in Wells County and the State of Indiana.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:05pm.
