Let's Talk History

From the Rector’s Desk

When I grew up, it was common to see notices that 'George Washington Slept Here'.  As a kid, these signs were the obvious reason that Washington was the Father of our Country.  It was not until much later that I learned that Washington did not have children of his own.

As a young priest, it seemed that Washington not only slept at every inn along the Route 1 Corridor between New York and Virginia, but he also went to Church wherever he could paddle a canoe or ride a horse.

Although these are quaint memories, there is something to learn as we enter the 250th Anniversary of our Nation.  I hope that you will join us between Services on Sunday as we explore the roles that faith, religion, and the church played in the founding of America.
