Ohio Christian Alliance Calls on
Attorney General Dann to Apologize for Bigoted Remark
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 14, 2007
The Ohio Christian Alliance has
submitted a letter to Ohio
Attorney General Marc Dann, expressing our disappointment and
alarm to his comment in official correspondence with his
communications director, in which he compared a bad press day to
the crucifixion of Christ. The email that was made public is dated
April 6, 2007 – Good Friday of this year.
Chris Long, President of Ohio Christian Alliance, made the
following statement, “We are outraged that you, the Attorney
General of the State of Ohio, would make a bigoted, disparaging
remark in reference to Jesus Christ in an official communiqué…My
fellow citizens and I are shocked and appalled that you, as an
elected official, would make such a remark in regard to Jesus
Christ, our Saviour and the leader of the Christian faith on one
of the most holy days of the Christian calendar. That such an
intolerant comment would be made by Ohio’s Attorney General, whose
duty it is to defend the rights of all Ohioans, only adds to our
distress.”
The Ohio Christian Alliance has requested an apology from
Attorney General Marc Dann, and a guarantee that people of faith
will not be subjected to bigoted remarks by him in the future. It
is our hope that the Attorney General will take the appropriate
action to address the concerns of Christians across the State of
Ohio that have been offended by his comments.
