VIDEO: John Jay and the Christian Worldview of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence

Phil Webster in character as John Jay 

presenting the Christian worldview of 

the Signers of the Declaration of Independence.  

      John Jay was not a signer of the Declaration of Independence.  New York forbade him to leave as New York was under the threat of attack from the British.  John Jay was familiar with the signers and he with them.  Continental Congress chose him to be President from 1778 to 1779.  His 1776 Christmas Address (available on this blog) mentioned God 33 times.  Continental Congress had the address translated into German and published at Continental Congress expense.  John Jay, the nation's first Secretary of State and Chief Justice served as President of the American Bible Society in his retirement.  Mr. Jay is uniquely qualified to talk about the Christian worldview of the Founding Fathers
