Summary
This House Resolution expresses support for recognizing September 7, 2025, as "Liturgical Dance Day" and acknowledges the International Dance Commission's contributions. It highlights the role of liturgical dance in ministries and the commission's service to communities through creative arts. The resolution specifically recognizes the contributions to creative arts and worship in communities across the State of Georgia.
Expected Effects
The resolution's passage would formally recognize "Liturgical Dance Day" and the International Dance Commission within the House of Representatives. This recognition could raise awareness of liturgical dance and the commission's activities. It may also encourage further community engagement and support for the arts.
Potential Benefits
- Increased awareness of liturgical dance as an art form.
- Recognition of the International Dance Commission's community contributions.
- Potential encouragement for youth involvement in the arts.
- Celebration of cultural expression and worship through dance.
- Positive impact on arts programs in Georgia.
Potential Disadvantages
- The resolution is largely symbolic and has no direct legal or financial impact.
- Potential for some to view the resolution as an endorsement of religion, despite its broader artistic focus.
- Limited scope, focusing primarily on Georgia.
Constitutional Alignment
The resolution appears to align with the First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech and religion. Recognizing an organization involved in worship arts does not violate the Establishment Clause, as it does not establish a religion. The resolution's focus on artistic expression also falls under protected speech.
