Preface to William Penn's Prayer

I do not consider it irrelevant nor unimportant that the founder of the City of Philadelphia, William Penn, prayed for that city. Philadelphia is considered the "birthplace of America." I had the privilege of reading that prayer which is on a large plaque on the South side of the East pavilion, near the courtyard of City Hall. Market at Juniper. The City of Philadelphia is blessed because God answers prayer. That is just the way it is.
