"The American Revolution would not have been possible without the pulpit. As early as 1750, Jonathan Mayhew of Boston’s West Church preached a groundbreaking sermon against tyranny. Pastor and President of Princeton John Witherspoon, initially reluctant to talk publicly about the crisis, became so frustrated by 1776 that he not only talked about it, but he also signed the declaration. Peter Muhlenberg surprised his Virginia congregation one day by ending his sermon with a disrobing, removing his clerical garb to reveal a uniform."
