The Christian Heritage Involved in the Founding of the United States

Refreshments will be available after the class.

Presented by Senator Jon Kyl

The U.S. Government was created to protect our God-given rights. If we are, indeed, created in the image of God, and He has endowed us with rights, it follows that we have a sacred duty to preserve and protect those rights. How should we do that?

Bio: Jon Kyl served as a Congressman from Arizona from 1987-1995 and as a Senator from 1995–2013 and 2018. He was Senate Minority Whip from 2007 to 2013. Kyl earned bachelor’s (1964) and law (1966) degrees from the University of Arizona where he served as President of the Arizona Law Review. After being admitted to the state bar in 1966, he practiced at a Phoenix law firm for the next 20 years, before running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
