Join us this Sunday at 7pm on our Facebook page for our latest Rev War Revelry installment where we will welcome historian and author Richard Lim to discuss his new book; Refusing a Crown: How George Washington Changed the World . Lim explores America’s surprisingly complex transition from monarchy to republican government through the life and leadership of George Washington. The book argues that Washington’s decisions to relinquish power helped establish the norms of republican government not only in the United States but also inspired revolutionaries and reformers in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. It also examines how Judeo-Christian ideas about virtue, duty, and self-government shaped Washington’s understanding of leadership and informed some of his most consequential decisions. Timed for America’s 250th anniversary, the book offers a fresh perspective on how Washington’s example changed the course of world history.

This Revelry is pre-recorded and will post to our Facebook page this Sunday, September 20, 2026 at 7pm. You can also view it on our You Tube Channel.
