Dear All: Quakers and Mennonites objected to taking oaths in the 18th century (especially swearing on the Bible). Did others? A Presbyterian group asked the House of Delegates to change the oath requirements in 1778 (although this was clearly not a problem generally for Presbyterians). I have not seen any reference to Methodists objecting to oaths, but it occurs to me they might have (although not clear why Presbyterians were carrying their water...). Presbyterians might have just been being good citizens. Thoughts?
