And all this time, I thought it was the Episcopalians!
I have Scottish Presbyterian ancestry. A distant cousin, Rev Geotge Wishart was burned at the stake by Cardinal Beaton at the direction of Mary Queen of Scots. Partly because QE1 liked my cousin, a fellow Protestant reformer
July 4th marks the 249th birthday of the United States of America. In terms of world history, we are still young. This republic was founded in 1776 by some very brave, courageous and wise men.
As it turns out, about three-quarters of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were affiliated with the Episcopal Church, and over a quarter of all Presidents of the United States have been Episcopalians.
While the founding fathers deservedly get the credit for creating this experiment in democracy, we know that behind the scenes they had support from friends and family, spouses and associates, and mostly importantly they were inspired by God!
