The campaign against the British invasion of New York was organized and led out of the “Old Yellow Church” ~ a mult-faith sort of building where you had Presbyterians, Anglicans, Lutherans, Reformed and a variety of other faiths with only the vaguest of Christian connection worshipping.

“Presbyterians, Anglicans, Lutherans, Reformed and a variety of other faiths with only the vaguest of Christian connection worshipping.”

That is a perception of a “historian” looking through what he may see of Presbyterians, Anglicans, Lutherans and Reformed in our day. The truth is, all of those people in the 1770s, 1780s would have professed a fundamentalist (”Christian Right”) theology and world view. By the way, except for some the reformed who may have continued using the Geneva Bible, all of those pulpits would have had the very same Bible as their text, which gave them a footing for fellowship.

Muawiyah, you are also missing a lot of good history. Are you sure you are not trying to construct history to convince people today that the “Christian Right” is too much involved in Government?
