I’m just a big history buff, history and genealogy led me back to Christianity, and I am particularly keen on neglected history, both church and secular, not that the two can easily be separated prior to our Revolution.

Many of the very early, precursor churches to the Reformation get short shrift, I’m descended from people who belonged to several of them, and so I try to tell their story on these threads.

I keep wanting to delve into the fact that the American Revolution was widely known as the Presbyterian Revolution in England, even by King George. But, that opportunity just hasn’t arisen. It’ll come, though, lol.

Blessings to you as well, good night.

At this point, I usually point out the New England Primer - whereby the founding fathers and others at that time learned to read and write - included a lot of Protestant theology.

The influence can also be seen in the Primary Source Documents.
