Thomas Jefferson: Theocrat


One of the books I'm currently reading--amidst the tons of headlines I go through each day--is "America: The Last Best Hope Vol. 1" by William Bennett.

Tonight I read an interesting passage about something that happened early in Thomas Jefferson's administration.

Bennett pointed out that, only hours after Thomas Jefferson wrote his often misinterpreted "wall of separation between church and state" letter to the Danbury Baptists, Jefferson joined in a religious service in the U.S. House of Representatives where Baptist leader John Leland preached.

Jefferson attended a religious service on federal property! Oh, what a closet theocrat, was Jefferson! :-)
