American Minute with Bill Federer
October 3
On October 3, 1789, from the U.S. Capitol in New York City,
President George Washington issued the first Proclamation of a
National Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer to Almighty God," as
just one week earlier the first session of the U.S. Congress
approved the First Ten Amendments limiting the power of the Federal
Government.
The First Amendments begins:
"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Washington proclaimed:
"Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the
Providence of Almighty God....
We may...unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications
to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon
our national and other transgressions,
to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform
our several and relative duties properly...to render our national
government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a
government of wise, just and constitutional laws...
and to bless them with...peace and concord...and the increase of
science...and...to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal
prosperity as He alone knows to be best."
