Presbytery of Hanover, Va
PRESBYTERY OF HANOVER, VA.: "The duty that we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can only be directed by reason and conviction, and is nowhere cognizable but at the tribunal of the universal Judge. To judge for ourselves, and to engage in the exercise of religion agreeably to THE DICTATES OF OUR OWN CONSCIENCE, is an inalienable right, which can never be transferred to another." — Declaration of 1776. U. S. GRANT: "Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contribution. Keep the state and the church forever separate." — Address to the Army of the Tennessee, Des Moines, Iowa, September, 1875. THOMAS JEFFERSON: "Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political."
