108th CONGRESS
2d Session
S. CON. RES. 91
Designating the month of April 2005 as ``American Religious History
Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
February 25, 2004
Mr. Brownback (for himself and Mr. Inhofe) submitted the following
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Designating the month of April 2005 as ``American Religious History
Month''.
Whereas religion has made a unique contribution in shaping the United States as
a distinctive and blessed Nation and people;
Whereas deeply held religious convictions led to the early settlement of our
nation;
Whereas religious teachings from the Bible inspired concepts of civil government
that are contained in our Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States;
Whereas the history of our Nation clearly illustrates the value of voluntarily
applying religious teaching in the lives of individuals, families, and
society;
Whereas the profoundly held religious belief that all people are created in the
image of God and are therefore equal in the eyes of God ultimately led
to the abolition of the deeply entrenched institution of slavery;
Whereas many of our great national leaders acknowledged that religion is the
basis of national morality, as evidenced by President Washington who
said that ``reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national
morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle'';
Whereas the Nation now faces great challenges that will test this Nation as it
has never been tested before; and
Whereas renewing our knowledge of a faith in the God of our Founding Fathers can
strengthen us as a Nation and a people: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That Congress--
(1) designates the month of April 2005 as ``American
Religious History Month'' in recognition of both the formative
influence that religion has been on our Nation, and our
national need to study and apply the religious teachings
embraced by our Founding Fathers; and
(2) requests that the President issue a proclamation
calling upon the people of the United States to observe the
year with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
