I wondered when word came about CFA not supporting 2 Christian based organizations and dropped them like a hot potato. I got caught up in the left trying to get me to divorce myself from my fav fast food restaurant. So I apologize and will not be giving them up. Here is the real truth.
Chick-fil-A made commitments to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes
and to the Salvation Army in the past. Their giving model was
multi-year commitments, which varied with each charitable organization.
These terms were always communicated clearly to the recipients in
writing. Again, I know this first hand. Such was the case with the 2
organizations mentioned above. CFA’s commitments to them have reached
their term and are now over. CFA is in no way obligated to continue to
give to any organization into perpetuity. So while you may be hearing
that “Chick-fil-A “dropped” these organizations suddenly,” and then
infer (quite wrongly) that it is due to a shift in values or
capitulation to the LGBTQ mafia, that is simply not the case.
What’s changed is not CFA’s mission or values, but their giving
strategy. Their express desire is to reevaluate their giving annually.
They’ve stated that the $9million they’ve set aside in 2020 will go to
youth education, combatting youth homeslessness, and fighting hunger.
Ok. Doesn’t get my engine revving, but ok...not my call to make. I get
to decide where the Satterfield family and Emmaus Road Church gives and
where we focus. I don’t get to decide for CFA.
To some, it
appears to be capitulation, and I understand that feeling. But know that
it is merely a feeling - a suspicion, a misgiving, an impression. If
you haven’t been in the top-level meetings, or heard first-hand from
those who were that this whole thing is driven by the fear of the Left,
then you have NO BUSINESS speculating to the detriment of a company that
has only been faithful to Biblical principles for 73 years.
