Summary
Before America declared its independence, before the Declaration was written, and before a single shot of the Revolution was fired, fifty-six delegates gathered in Philadelphia with one unexpected obstacle: they couldn't agree on how to pray. In this episode, Chad tells the remarkable story of the opening prayer of the First Continental Congress, the denominational divide that nearly prevented it, Samuel Adams' surprising plea for unity, and the unforgettable prayer that moved hardened men to tears. Then comes the twist few people know: the minister who led that historic prayer would later urge George Washington to surrender the Revolution.
