Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). _________________ © 1997 by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation _______________ |
Filmed in Colonial Williamsburg The Great Awakening The revivals of the Great Awakening shook Britain's North American colonies from spiritual slumber during the 1730's, 1740's, and 1750's. In Virginia it touched men and women whose spiritual needs had been too long neglected by the legally established Anglican church. ...messages of a personal God and salvation. In homes, in meetinghouses, and in open fields, rich and poor, black and white, men and women mingled to hear emotional messages of a personal God and salvation. The Great Awakening rattled and cracked the foundations of hierarchical authority and official religion from Georgia to New England, reverberating through the decades to the Revolution and the collapse of British rule. Produced by Colonial Williamsburg Produced by Colonial Williamsburg, the program recreates for students of American independence the fire of the Reverend Samuel Davies, and their pursuit of the right to worship according to one's convictions. With Colonial Williamsburg as a backdrop, Thomas Jefferson guides viewers to understand how the axiom that government ought not legislate belief became a fundamental pillar of American democracy. This tenet found expression in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." ...dramatic portrayal of colonial Virginia during the Great Awakening... The insights of Thomas Jefferson, champion of religious liberty, infuse this dramatic portrayal of colonial Virginia during the Great Awakening, a turning point in the American concept of freedom. Here is a lesson of faith in freedom. ________________________ |
