Description

Holy Moly! “I minimized the official mixing of government and religion…I even taught Sunday School at First Baptist Church while serving in the White House.”

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, no date. Letter discussing his religion. In part, “Government leaders shared about the same degree of faith in God as other citizens. I doubt that there has been much change as the years have passed. You will recall that it was fairly recently, in 1954, that ‘under God’ was added to our pledge of allegiance…As a Christian and a president, I minimized the official mixing of government and religion, but my personal prayer habits were not restricted by my duties. I even taught Sunday School at First Baptist Church while serving in the White House.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition, with expected folds. R&R COA.
