Historian Spencer W. McBride on U.S. history, Church history and religious freedom
About this episode
Historian Spencer W. McBride discusses the intersection of U.S. history, Church history, and religious freedom in light of the 250th anniversary of the United States.
With the 250th anniversary of the United States this year, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have invited members to learn more about moral agency and how the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence support religious liberty. These founding documents helped enable the Restoration of the Church, which now spreads throughout the world. Historian Spencer W. McBride with the Church History Department joins Church News reporter Mary Richards to talk about the American Revolution, religious freedom and God’s hand in history.
