“I love and revere the memories of Huss Wickliff Luther Calvin
Zwinglius Melancton and all the other reformers how muchsoever I may
differ from them all in many theological metaphysical &
philosophical points. As you justly observe, without their great
exertions & severe sufferings, the USA had never existed.”
-- John Adams to F. C. Schaeffer, November 25, 1821
