President Trump is set to deliver remarks this morning at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., as part of the White House Religious Liberty Commission. His speech will coincide with the launch of a new prayer initiative aimed at honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary next July. This initiative continues the President’s commitment to religious liberty, as evidenced by his signing of the executive order that established the Religious Liberty Commission.
White House Spokeswoman Taylor Rogers emphasized the significance of this initiative, stating it seeks to revive the core principle that “we are one nation under God.” This revival comes at a pivotal time for the country, highlighting the importance of faith in America’s founding and future. Rogers conveyed the message that “as we approach the 250th anniversary of the greatest country in the world, President Trump invites Americans to pray for our nation and for our people.”
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner, also a pastor, added his voice to the initiative, stating that the President encourages prayer at the highest levels of government. “We’re looking to bring renewed hope and encouragement to the American people,” he explained. This call for prayer resonates with a desire to reconnect faith with government functions.
The initiative, dubbed “America Prays,” encourages Americans to dedicate time each week to pray for their country. It invites citizens to gather with at least ten others for these prayer sessions, illustrating a grassroots effort to bolster national unity through faith. “President Trump has revived one of America’s most prominent and powerful founding principles,” Rogers noted, reinforcing the motivation behind this initiative.
This morning’s event highlights a trajectory in which religion and government can coexist, showcasing the administration’s commitment to uphold religious freedoms. The initiative serves not only to spread messages of hope but to reaffirm faith as a central pillar in the nation’s identity as it approaches a historic milestone. The President’s remarks will begin at 10:10 AM ET, and the event is set to be a significant milestone in the lead-up to America’s semiquincentennial celebration.
