To remove any and all doubt concerning the faith of our founding fathers and their often stated intent...to build America on biblical principles - one need only visit the landmarks, monuments and official buildings of our government in Washington D. C. Read the Walls and you will find etched in stone and expressed in stained glass the indisputable fact that Almighty God was America's original protector, benefactor and guide and the Holy Bible was her founding document. One would have to be deaf, dumb and dishonest to miss such varied and abundant official evidences of America's deep and abiding faith in God as there are in Washington. It has been said that we would need to sandblast every wall from the capitol building to the Potomac River to erase the testimonies of our nation's biblical roots. The walls proclaim a living message that true liberty comes from no man but God.
The Capitol In 1962, two days after the Supreme Court declared prayer in the public schools unconstitutional, Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia delivered an address to Congress reminding his colleagues of the Christian symbolism throughout their own city. The senator, visibly moved by the disastrous court decision, took the members of Congress on a verbal tour of the major landmarks of the capitol city. He then concluded: ''Inasmuch as our greatest leaders have shown no doubt about God's proper place in the American birthright, can we, in our day, dare do less?''
In our nation's capitol, just off the rotunda, there is a place of private prayer and meditation for members of Congress. In this official prayer room, there is a beautiful stained glass window showing George Washington, the father of our country, kneeling in prayer. Behind and around the kneeling president are these words from Psalm 16:1: ''Preserve me, O God, for in Thee do I put my trust.'' Every session of the House and Senate begins with prayer.
