ANNUAL LUNCHEON THE UNVEILING
On June 21, Executive Director Amanda Tyler debuted BJC’s new look at the annual luncheon in Birmingham, Alabama. Hundreds of religious liberty supporters from across the country gathered under banners with the revamped BJC logo, surrounded by clusters of balloons in our new blue and orange colors. Tyler spoke about the growing threats to religious freedom and why this new makeover has readied BJC for the challenge. Then, speaking to that point, Jonathan Merritt — bestselling author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch — urged the audience that it was their Christian obligation to speak out. “The world needs you to lead the conversation, especially in this moment,” he said. “I think it can make a difference. I think it needs to make a difference.” Please visit our website at BJConline.org/luncheon to watch the video online.
So we can get more quickly to the heart of our work, we now go by “BJC” with a tagline that succinctly states our mission and is also hashtag friendly: Faith. Freedom. For All. #FaithFreedomForAll Plus, we’ve added orange to the tried-and-true legal blue. Orange is optimistic, energetic and ready to go. BJC is not all talk; we take action.
