Henry attended revival meetings of the Great Awakening as a boy, which helped form his personal faith and his dramatic speaking style. Along with fellow Founders such as John Adams and George Washington, Henry believed both in protecting religious liberty, and in continuing direct government support for churches. Henry\u2019s debates with James Madison and Thomas Jefferson over disestablishing Virginia\u2019s state church illuminate the vital importance of faith in the American founding, and the Founders\u2019 disagreements over the \u2018separation of church and state.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/02\/brekus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"112\" data-attachment-id=\"6390\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2012\/02\/lectures-religion-in-early-america-from-the-great-awakening-to-the-revolution\/brekus\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/02\/brekus.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"75,112\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"brekus\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/02\/brekus.jpg\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6390\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2012\/02\/brekus.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\/><\/a>Dr. Catherine Brekus, Associate Professor of the History of Christianity in the Divinity School, The University of Chicago, will present \u201cSarah Osborn\u2019s World: The Rise of Evangelical Christianity in Early America\u201d on Thursday, February 16.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are the historical roots of evangelical Christianity? When and why did the evangelical movement begin, and how can we explain its popularity? \u00a0Brekus will answer these questions by recovering the story of an extraordinary woman who belonged to the first generation of evangelical Christians in America. Few people today have ever heard of Sarah Osborn, a schoolteacher who lived in Newport, Rhode Island, during the 1700s, but she was one of the most charismatic female religious leaders of her time. During the 1760s she led a remarkable revival that brought hundreds of people, including large numbers of slaves, to her house each week. Her story offers a fascinating window onto the early history of the evangelical movement, a movement that continues to influence American life today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The LeRoy Martin Distinguished Lecturer Series on Christian History and Thought is sponsored by the Maclellan Family Foundation.\u00a0 For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.utc.edu\/Academic\/PhilosophyAndReligion\/events.php\">http:\/\/www.utc.edu\/Academic\/PhilosophyAndReligion\/events.php<\/a> or call 423\/425-4334.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UTC Department of Philosophy and Religion presents the LeRoy Martin Distinguished Lecturer Series on Christian History and Thought, \u201cReligion in Early America: From the Great Awakening to the Revolution\u201d from Tuesday-Thursday, February 14-16.\u00a0 All lectures begin at 7 p.m.\u00a0 They are all free and open to the public.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2012\/02\/lectures-religion-in-early-america-from-the-great-awakening-to-the-revolution\/\">Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,12659],"tags":[8258],"class_list":{"0":"post-6380","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","7":"category-events-entertainment","8":"tag-department-of-philosophy-and-religion","9":"entry","10":"has-post-thumbnail"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
