The Founding of America was fueled by those fleeing tyranny and oppression for their beliefs in God. Liberty was preeminent in the minds of many in colonial times. The pulpit was a place that spoke against tyranny, including Jonathan Mayhew, Jonathan Todd, Andrew Elliot, Jonas Clark, James Caldwell, and John Peter Muhlenberg. We look for faith institutions to continue to speak against tyranny and infringement on civil liberties, which come from the Creator. We encourage leaders to call out oppression and call for a return to our founding principles of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
