The Great Awakening or First Great Awakening was an evangelical and revitalization movement that swept Protestant Europe and British America, especially the American colonies, in the 1730s and 1740s, leaving a permanent impact on American Protestantism.
I was just talking to my mother about what is going on in the world... and what I'm writing about. (She has been very in-tune with what is going on. She was a teacher and has her Masters in English. This was the first election she didn't vote Republican. It saddened her deeply to see Ms. DeVos put in charge of education. )
Anyway, when I explained what I'm writing about, she smiled at me and said, "That was the topic of your grandfather's PhD and book. And, it is why we moved to Pennsylvania."
I learn something new everyday. Thank God for public education.
