Theodore Parker (1810-1860), was an American abolitionist and clergyman, having graduated from Harvard, who spoke strongly against slavery. He declared:
"The Bible goes equally to the cottage of the peasant, and the palace of the king. It is woven into literature, and colors the talk of the street. The bark of the merchant cannot sail without it; and no ship of war goes to the conflict but it is there. It enters men's closets; directs their conduct, and mingles in all the grief and cheerfulness of life." ¹
On May 29, 1850, Theodore Parker wrote The American Idea, in which he stated:
"A democracy - that is a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course, a government of the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God; for shortness' sake I will call it the idea of Freedom." ²
