They were instruments in God's hand to create a government where religious freedom could be experienced by the human race in its fullest for the first time.
How many Christian religions are in America today?
There are only as many as the people of America desire.
There is even a Christian religion that is unique to America itself. This is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, otherwise known as the Mormon faith or the more good Faith in Jesus Christ as I like to call it.
For those who love Christ and truth, this unique religion of the Mormons' has great appeal.
This little church that started with only six members back in 1830 is the stone made without hands that is rolling forth and will fill the earth to prepare us for the Second Coming.
So what did the fifty-six signers do?
You will have to ask them when you see them on the other side.
During 1877 there was a man who saw the signers and others, including General George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, as well as preceding generations such as Christopher Columbus in the Saint George Temple. His name was Wilford Woodruff.
In that sacred edifice, General George Washington and the 56 signers requested the blessings that could only be found in a Holy Temple of God, the blessing of eternal family relationships after this life, a fitting blessing for individuals who had sacrificed so much for others. They truly made the world better through their service.
It seems that the recent groundbreaking ceremony led by President Henry B. Eyring of the Church's First Presidency is very appropriate.
At his side was Elder Jay E. Jensen of the Presidency of the Seventy, Elder William R. Walker, executive director of the Church’s Temple Department, and Elder Robert B. Smith of the Seventy. The Church leaders were joined by Mayor Michael Nutter and other local community and religious dignitaries. Thousands of Latter-day Saints watched a broadcast of the event in local chapels.
"The work done in these sacred buildings becomes the crowning element of our religious worship," said President Henry B. Eyring. "For Latter-day Saints, no building is more sacred than a dedicated temple of God."
