Folks I don’t agree with the teaching of that church as such but some need to remember this. A sizable portion of the Founding Fathers of the United States followed many of that churches doctorines teachings. At least two were our first presidents. One was Washington. One even wrote their Bible. That mans name was Thomas Jefferson. They did not deserve this.

I dispute your stated historical facts. GW was an active member of the Episcopal Church in Northern Virginia all of his life - served on the church vestry, a lay reader, etc.

Jefferson didn't write a Bible. He edited the KJV by deleting portions he felt he couln't agree. Mainly he took out the miracles. He just couldn't grasp a God of creation, a God of time and space, a God whose mysteries have always befuddled mankind.. He was a active member of an Episcopal church all his life. Apparently he found far more in which he agreed than disagreed. - Neither considered themselves UU.
