Religious views of George Washington

The religious views of George Washington have long been debated. While some of the Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Patrick Henry were noted for writing about religion, Washington rarely discussed his religious and philosophical views. His personal letters and public speeches sometimes referred to "Providence." He was a member of several churches which he attended, and served as an Anglican vestryman and warden for more than fifteen years when Virginia had an established church.
==Anglican affiliations==
George Washington was baptized in infancy into the Church of England,〔Family Bible entry http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/hh/26/hh26f.htm〕〔Image of page from family Bible http://gwpapers.virginia.edu/project/faq/bible.html〕 which, until 1776, was the established church of Virginia.〔(Colonial Williamsburg website ) has four articles on religion in colonial Virginia〕 As the British monarch is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and its clergy swear an Oath of Supremacy to the monarch, the American churches established the Episcopal Church after the American Revolution. The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1786) disestablished the Church, although it retained some lands which had been purchased with public monies.〔http://www.fac.org/PDF/FCGchapter3.PDF A History of Religious Liberty in American Public Life by Charles C. Haynes (1991 Council for the Advancement of Citizenship and the Center for Civic Education)〕 (The denominations that share the Church of England tradition are associated through the Anglican Communion).
As an adult, Washington served as a member of the vestry (lay council) for his local parish. Office-holding qualifications at all levels—including the House of Burgesses, to which Washington was elected in 1758—required affiliation with the current state religion and an undertaking that one would neither express dissent nor do anything that did not conform to church doctrine. At the library of the New-York Historical Society, some manuscripts containing a leaf from the church record of Pohick were available to Benson Lossing, an American historian, which he included in his ''Field Book of the Revolution''; the leaf contained the following signed oath, required to qualify individuals as vestrymen:
Washington served as a vestryman or warden for more than 15 years. The Vestry in Virginia was the governing body of each church.〔Novak, Michael and Jana Novak, (Washington's God: Religion, Liberty and the Father of Our Country ), p. 97, Basic Books, 2007〕
