Snapshots Across America
Christmas Advent Calendar-Dec. 1
As devoted Christians, we believe that this Nation, The United States of America, has been blessed by God from it earliest history, to become a Free Nation and that we are, as the Declaration of Independence states, "endowed by [our] creator with certain unalienable Rights".
In that context, we want to recognize many of those wonderful gifts by things and places that are part of the that we believe have came from God or those who believe in God. Each day from Dec. 1 through 24, we will highlight a place from somewhere in America that we believe represents those gifts.
Freedom of Religion
Many people pursuing Freedom of Religion came to America for the promise of having exercise their religion without persecution. One of the earliest incidents of this goes back to the Pilgrims who came across the Atlantic Ocean in the Mayflower arriving in Plymouth in 1620. They faced persecution in Europe for their religious beliefs and wanted to live in a place where they would be Free to worship God.
