God & Our Founding Fathers: Congress of the United States When - TopicsExpress



          

God & Our Founding Fathers: Congress of the United States When the War of Independence drew to a close, the Continental Congress became the Congress of the United States of America. On May 1, 1789, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to elect Reverend William Linn, a Dutch Reformed minister, as its chaplain. In addition, the Congress appropriated $500.00 from the federal treasury to pay his salary. The Right Reverend Bishop Samuel Provost was elected to be the chaplain of the Senate and was also paid from the federal treasury. Both the House and the Senate continue today to open each session with prayer. So much for the inviolate wall of Separation of church and state that anti-Christian organizations like the ACLU claim.
