Somehow I don't believe John Adam belief was this.
He believed that Jesus was the ONLY way to get to the Father, and that the Bible was the Word of God.
More from that site:
They hate liberated women and all that symbolizes them. They hate it when women compete with men in the workplace, when they decide when or whether they will bear children, when they show the independence of getting abortions. They hate changes in laws that previously gave men more power over women. They hate the wide range of sexual orientations and lifestyles that have always characterized human societies. They hate homosexuality. They hate individual freedoms that allow people to stray from the rigid sort of truth they want to constrain all people. They hate individual rights that let others slough off their simple certainties

I agree...that covenant was adopted in 1991 according to their website. The church was founded in 1639. It is the church John and Abigail Adams attended when at home.
How it has changed over the years is another story.
