Dear AU Supporter,

You may have seen the news that the National Prayer Breakfast—an annual gathering that brings together political and religious powerbrokers on the first Thursday of February—is divorcing itself this year from the secretive Christian Nationalist group that ran the event for more than a half-century.

We’re watching to see just how distant The Family really is from the reconfigured breakfast, and whether that makes any difference. Regardless, AU still is not a fan of an event that symbolically merges church and state in a manner that excludes or offends millions of Americans by promoting a watered-down form of “God and country” rhetoric.

How much do you know about the origins and history of the National Prayer Breakfast? Take our quiz to find out!

Kind regards,

Andrew L. Seidel
