Spiritual Heritage Resolution

This video clip is well worth the 4 and a half minutes it takes to listen.

I have read the entire text of this resolution, which is both interesting and enlightening. The quote below is at the very end, where a proposal is made for the House of Representatives to approve, revise, or reject. The first 8+ pages are a brief history of religion as the foundation for our government's structure. To see the full text, click here.
        "be it Resolved, That the United States House of Representatives--

        (1) affirms the rich spiritual and diverse religious history of our Nation's founding and subsequent history, including up to the current day;
        (2) recognizes that the religious foundations of faith on which America was built are critical underpinnings of our Nation's most valuable institutions and form the inseparable foundation for America's representative processes, legal systems, and societal structures;
        (3) rejects, in the strongest possible terms, any effort to remove, obscure, or purposely omit such history from our Nation's public buildings and educational resources; and
        (4) expresses support for designation of a `America's Spiritual Heritage Week' every year for the appreciation of and education on America's history of religious faith."
