With due deference (and apologies) to Ms. Donald, I'm reminded of the  
"story" which I related to a colleague from Northern Virginia just yesterday, a  
propos as she's working on 19th century Rockbridge County history.  It  appears 
that in the mid 1950s a visitor to the campus of Washington & Lee  was shown 
the Lee Chapel, identified (correctly) as an Episcopal chapel.   The visitor 
protested, "But I though all Episcopal churches were named for  saints."  The 
guide said, "Oh, but it is!"
 
Cheers,
