Controversy : a man of many questions -- Foundations : early influences -- Church affiliation : a lifelong Anglican -- Sundays : public worship and time for reflection -- Confirmation and communion : questions about a rite and sacrament of the Church -- Prayer : private devotions -- Evidence of belief : contemporary statements -- Outward actions : charity and toleration -- Church and state : Washington's vision for America -- Conclusions: Washington's and others'. Mount Vernon researcher Mary Thompson endeavors to get beyond the current preoccupation with whether Washington and other founders were or were not evangelical Christians to ask what place religion had in their lives. Thompson follows Washington and his family over several generations, situating her inquiry in the context of new work on the place of religion in colonial and postrevolutionary Virginia and the Chesapeake. --from publisher description.
