America’s Rich Heritage of Thanksgiving and Prayer
ORLANDO, FL -- Thanksgiving is not only a time to express gratefulness to God for His provision but also a time to teach others about America’s true heritage. Public acknowledgements of the providence of God have been part of the history and traditions of this nation—from the Pilgrims to the Founding Era, to the Civil War and today—and it is important to share the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
In fact, George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation reveals important information about the meaning of the First Amendment.
