To Bigotry No Sanction

We are delighted to present this Trinity Forum Reading, featuring selections from Paul F. Boller Jr.’s George Washington and Religion with an introduction by Alonzo McDonald. 

Despite his flaws and limitations, few figures embody the spirit of America more fully than George Washington. Renowned for his unwavering sense of duty and remarkable integrity, he stands as the first—and rightly most revered—President of the United States. Yet few realize how frequently he spoke on the subjects of religious freedom and the dangers of persecution. In this Reading, historian Paul Boller explores Washington’s vision for “a government which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” In his introduction, McDonald challenges us to recover this foundational ideal, arguing that Washington “would challenge us in the modern age to respect deeply the church and all religions as essential institutions for a moral society.”
