Name That President

It's been a long time between posts. Here's a trivia question. Which U.S. president stated the following:

There is a mighty task before us, and it welds us together. It is to make the United States a mighty Christian Nation, and to Christianize the world.

A. Abraham Lincoln
B. Woodrow Wilson
C. John F. Kennedy
D. George W. Bush

Answer in the comments after a few guesses have been made.

On a related matter, I am currently hashing out a post on the way Christians should understand the role of government being "ministers of God".

Wilson.

Correct! Interesting how the most progressive (and fascistic) Democratic president of the 20th century can get away with saying something like that in posterity.

Did you use Google? What do you think of his sentiment?

Yes, I used Google. but it only confirmed it for me. It was him or dubya, and given when it was said, it would have sounded quite acceptable with the Soviet threat as big as it was. A lot of people forget that. He was quite rightly identifying the ideological warfare. A good reminder that fascism seems to arise from all sorts of places given the right conditions.
