Retired Farmington Hills pastor Ralph Rebandt who is running for governor, hopes to win over Christian voters as he pushes for Bible studies in the Michigan classrooms, possibly as part of a history lesson.
He tells Bridge Michigan he's got the “biggest lane” toward possible victory: “The church lane.”
“If my memory serves me right, 32 percent of the voting population are Christians, and I only need like 22 percent to win this,” Rebandt said, telling Bridge that his message of “bringing Judeo-Christian values back to the culture” is “resonating” with those voters.
On the Bible being taught in school, he says:
"I can see the Bible being used either in a history course, as it was foundational to our nation and its founding, or in a literature course, because when I was growing up, we read sermons from pastors, we read the Bible, because that was early American literature."
