>In one of my postings I wrote about the Anglican and Episcopalian Church laws
as they concerned race. I apologize if anyone is offended by the information.
I did not know that some people were unaware of the Churches role in the
history of America.
>The Bible was used by some churches to justify slavery. I was surprised to
find out about the Baptist movement in Virginia, and their opposition to
slavery. One of my ancestor, Rawley Pinn, was a Free Black, who attended
Baptist services in the
>1700's. The Baptist were preaching that all men were created equal, and that
was in opposition to the Anglican church.
