BUFFALO — A flag hanging from a telephone pole marked the turnoff to the Land of Promise.
It was unseasonably warm for late October, but three dozen Minnesotans chose to spend their Saturday here, at a church on the north side of Beebe Lake.
Inside a building, church mixed with politics. At the front of the room an American flag was draped over a pulpit, next to which the Rev. Dale Witherington led the day-long retreat, donning a black and white T-shirt that said “I am not one of the sheep.”
Witherington is leader of Restore Minnesota, a ministry that aims to “restore righteousness in Minnesota through spiritual and civic transformation based on the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
He was leading a workshop for “community action teams” that are committed to stamping out the voter fraud they are certain caused Republicans to lose the presidency in 2020, even if prominent Republicans like William Barr and a bevy of Republican-appointed judges don’t agree.
First, Witherington led the group in prayer.
“Lord we know that for most of these folks — and especially right now coming up to election — for most of these folks it is geared on government and politics,” he said. “We know it’s so much more than that. But that’s at the heart of what’s going on in our nation. And if any part of our culture right now needs a fresh breath of God, it is our federal, state and local governments.”
