弗吉尼亚州周二即将举行的重划选区公投的反对者获得了宗教界的助力——已故杰里·福尔韦尔牧师的儿子就反对这项有争议议案的“圣经价值观”发声。
乔纳森·福尔韦尔牧师是林奇堡自由大学校长，同时也是父亲创立的托马斯路浸信会的牧师，数十年来一直是知名的保守派宗教声音。
在弗吉尼亚州众议员温德尔·沃克（共和党，林奇堡）分享的讲话中，福尔韦尔告诉会众，尽管他从未也永远不会建议任何人投票支持或反对某位候选人，但周二的公投议案不容忽视。
“周二是弗吉尼亚联邦的选举日。本不该如此，但确实是。我们即将迎来一场选举。选票上没有任何候选人，没有任何人竞选任何公职。这只是 Richmond（里士满，弗吉尼亚州首府）的一些人做出的决定，旨在颠覆行事的常规方式和正确方式。”福尔韦尔说道。

福尔韦尔解释称，重划议案的支持者将投票措辞包装为，投“赞成”票将“恢复公平”，而他们所谓的公平，是将弗吉尼亚州国会席位比例从6-5改为“10个倾向自由派、1个倾向保守派”。
“我不认为他们所谓的‘恢复公平’就是他们真正想做的事。我认为他们想要做的是完全掌控一切。”
福尔韦尔强调，他一直只鼓励会众“按照自己的价值观投票”，并解释了圣经价值观在政治语境下的含义。
“今天我也会这么做，但情况略有不同，因为我知道，如果你持有圣经价值观，如果你相信生命的神圣性，如果你相信‘男人和女人仅此而已’的理念，如果你坚定地信奉这个国家建国以来的所有自由、价值观和原则，那么周二你只有一种投票方式，那就是投反对票。”

他表示，预计自己会因就此话题发声而遭到反对，还称预计会收到愤怒的信件和电子邮件。
“我不在乎，”福尔韦尔说，“我们不能让弗吉尼亚联邦被一小撮只认为自己的方式才是唯一正确方式的人掌控。”
“如果我们真的相信投票很重要，如果我们真的相信我们的价值观很重要，如果你真的相信我们有权表达自己的声音，那就亮出你的声音，去投票吧。”
沃克后来赞扬福尔韦尔挺身而出，称他的决定是“勇敢的立场”。
“这样的领导力至关重要——大声说出你的想法，让你的声音被听到。投反对票，”沃克说道。

“如果像乔纳森·福尔韦尔这样的牧师想从布道坛上告诉人们如何投票，那么像托马斯路浸信会这样的大型教会就应该开始交税，”这位批评者说道。
福尔韦尔于2007年接替父亲杰里·福尔韦尔牧师，成为托马斯路浸信会的高级牧师，并于2023年出任自由大学校长。

Falwell: ‘If you hold Biblical values’ you will vote ‘no’ on Virginia redistricting

Opponents of Virginia’s redistricting referendum hitting ballot boxes on Tuesday got an assist from on high after the son of the late Rev. Jerry Falwell spoke out on the “Biblical values” behind opposing the controversial measure.
Rev. Jonathan Falwell, chancellor of Liberty University in Lynchburg and pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church (founded by his father), has been a prominent conservative religious voice for decades.
In remarks shared by Virginia Del. Wendell Walker, R-Lynchburg, Falwell told congregants that while he has never and will never advise anyone on who to vote for or against, Tuesday’s ballot measure is not to be ignored.
“Tuesday is an election day here in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It shouldn’t be, but it is. And we have an election coming up. There’s no body on the ballot. There are no individuals running for any office. It is simply a decision that was made by some people in Richmond to subvert the common way and the right way to do things,” Falwell said.

Falwell explained how redistricting proponents crafted the ballot language to say that a “yes” vote would “restore fairness” and that their definition of such was to change the congressional makeup of Virginia from 6-5 to 10 “leaning to the liberal [side] and one leaning to the conservative [side].”
“I don’t quite think the Restore Fairness is exactly what they’re trying to do. I think what they are trying to do is to completely take over.”
Falwell underlined that he has only ever encouraged congregants to “vote your values” and described what Biblical values translate to in a political context.
“Today, I’m going to do the exact same thing, but it’s a little bit different because today I know that if you hold Biblical values, if you believe in the sanctity of life, if you believe in the right of having this idea that there is man and woman period. If you believe clearly in all the freedoms and the values and the principles upon which this nation was founded, there is only one way to vote on Tuesday and that is to vote no.”

He noted that he expects blowback for speaking out on the topic, adding that he anticipates angry letters and emails.
“I don’t care,” Falwell said. “We cannot allow the Commonwealth of Virginia to be taken over by a simple group of people who just simply believe that their way is the only way.”
“If we truly believe that voting matters, if we truly believe that our values matter, if you truly believe that we have the right to let our voices be heard, then let your voice be heard and vote.”
Walker later praised Falwell for speaking out, calling his decision a “courageous stand.”
“Leadership like this matters — speak up and make your voice heard. Vote NO,” Walker said.

“If pastors like Jonathan Falwell want to start telling people how to vote from the pulpit, then megachurches like Thomas Road Baptist Church should start paying taxes,” the critic said.
Falwell succeeded his father, Rev. Jerry Falwell, as senior pastor of Thomas Road in 2007, and became chancellor of Liberty University in 2023.
