About this listen

One of the most influential sermons in American history was delivered in 1630 by John Winthrop, governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony. Entitled, “A Modell of Christian Charitie,” he painted a compelling vision for the future of American society. Repeated by presidents and patriots for 400 years, these words became a prophecy of a God-centered political experiment.
