The conversation with Danbury Institute founder Z. Scott Colter explores a path forward after the ground shaking revelations from the book, "Shepherds for Sale" by Megan Basham (https://youtu.be/LxxcZ_V3woU). According to their website - The Danbury Institute is an association of churches, Christians, and organizations aligned to affirm and preserve God-given rights to life and liberty by influencing culture and public policy, upholding the free exercise of religion, inspiring the vigorous involvement of an informed citizenry, and promoting Judeo-Christian values as the proper foundation for a free and prosperous republic. Broadly, we serve as a conservative voice to leaders and policy makers and an advocate for conservative Americans. Some of what we do includes meeting with elected representatives to let them know where Christians stand on various issues and to urge them toward good governance. In the reverse, we also gather important information from Washington and her leaders and take that back to Americans in towns and cities across the nation. That may entail alerting you to important votes about which you should contact your legislators or sending reminders to pray for specific court cases that will affect your liberties and the future of the nation. There is a wide array of ways to accomplish both of these tasks, both private and public, so the work of the Danbury Institute is robust and naturally multi-faceted. When we speak with legislators, they communicate to us how much they rely upon hearing from constituents and advocacy groups to know which issues should receive more attention and which bills should garner their support. The mentality, they say, is often that "everyone else" will contact Washington. In reality, conservative Christian views are underrepresented in our nation's capital. Similarly, accurate information can be difficult to find, especially with trust of mainstream media being at an all-time low. We intend to bridge that gap in both directions through communication and engagement. If everyone thinks "someone else will do it," "it" never gets done. The Danbury Institute serves as a beacon and a nucleus for those who will stand clearly and boldly for the values of life and liberty.
