CFA’s Dan Cathy Gives AFA Silent Treatment
CFA’s Dan Cathy Gives AFA Silent Treatment
By Tim Wildmon
On Monday, December 2, I overnighted a letter to Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy. In the letter, I asked him to clarify statements made by the leadership of Chick-fil-A and the Chick-fil-A Foundation. You can read the letter here.
As you know, Chick-fil-A recently said it would no longer be supporting The Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Moreover, the Chick-fil-A Foundation announced its support of Covenant House, an outreach that affirms homosexual orientation and funds LGBTQ causes.
Mr. Cathy has not responded to my letter. This is disappointing.
Specifically, I asked Mr. Cathy to answer these two questions: (1) Will Chick-fil-A publicly state that it does not believe The Salvation Army and FCA are hate groups because of the ministries’ beliefs about sexuality, marriage, and family? (2) Will you publicly state that Chick-fil-A will not hesitate to fund these two ministries again, should the opportunity arise in the future?
Along with the letter, I included the signatures of over 100,000 people who want clarification from Chick-fil-A regarding its recent decisions.
This means that Mr. Cathy has not only snubbed AFA’s concerns, he has also chosen not to respond to those who have signed the petition.
If you haven’t already, please sign our petition to Chick-fil-A urging the company to return to its founding principles of standing beside and supporting those ministries that hold firm to God’s view of marriage as between one man and one woman.
Please share this with your family and friends!
