The first line of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has caused a considerable amount of controversy. In fact, there was even concern regarding the meaning of the amendment ten years after it was added to the Constitution.
In answer to a letter from the Danbury Baptist Church which expressed concern that religious freedom was treated not as a human right but as a favor from the state, Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1802 to assuage the congregation’s anxiety with the following words, which have since been warped to mean the opposite of the original intent: Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.

In just a few weeks we will be commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It’s been ten years, but I, and most Americans, can remember the horror of that day vividly. I also remember the impromptu scenes of people gathering for prayer on street corners and in public parks. The televised national prayer services at the National Cathedral in DC and Yankee Stadium in New York City. The local community-wide prayer event I attended.
We as an American people sought refuge and comfort from God on that terrible day.
