Rep. Beeler offered the following resolution:

A resolution to declare December 2, 2022, as Children of Abraham Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The United States is a tapestry comprising all religious faiths, predominant among them are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; and  

Whereas, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have a shared connection to Abraham and recognize this historical connection; and

Whereas, As followers of these faiths, they practice their faith and are called to embrace a spirit of religious toleration as Americans; and

Whereas, The freedom of religion is enshrined as an inseparable cornerstone of American government and public life that guarantees the right of religious expression; and

Whereas, This religious toleration is exemplary not only of their shared heritage in faith but also their patriotism; and  

Whereas, Recognizing the importance of religious expression, a shared heritage, and a patriotic spirit of toleration; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 2, 2022, as Children of Abraham day in the state of Michigan.
