    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

FIFTY years ago, on Sunday evening, August 5th, 1906, I first gave an address in the open air. I can well remember the occasion, and can still picture the scene in my mind. I stood upon a chair just outside the door of Hillsborough National Schools, Sheffield. My knees felt weak, my tongue was dry, and my heart beat violently. I t was, I think, the very first occasion I had spoken a Christian message. At any rate, it was the first occasion I had spoken in the open air. 258 The Gospel Magadne If my memory serves me rightly, I was but one of several young men who gave a short word.

  • The Bass Rock
    The Bass Rock. OAviO J l««,oi~, AT lf<<.M fJXA\ ^^ fiSli - t —____ k« . CHAPTER I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. HE rocky islands that dot the shores of the Forth have been picturesquely described by Sir Walter Scott in " Marmion " as " emeralds chased in gold." They have also been described as " bleak islets." Both these seemingly contradictory descriptions are true according as the sky is bright and sunny or, as so often happens in our northern climate, cloudy and1 overcast. Of these islands those known as the greater *' emeralds " are Inchkeith, Inchcolme, May Island, and the Bass. The lesser " emeralds " being Cramond, Inch- garvie, Fidra, Eyebroughty, and Craig Leith. Over nearly all these islands there clings a halo of romance and legend. With Inchkeith we associate a gallant chieftain, of the name of Keith, who in one of the« invasions of the Danes slew their leader, and received the island as a reward from a grateful King. 4 THE BASS ROCK. Inchcolme takes us back to the time of the Britons when the Druids are said to have here practised the mysteries of their religion. It was here, too, that David I., having sought refuge in a storm, was enter- tained by the hermit, and afterwards in gratitude founded a monastery, the ruins of which form at the present day a picturesque feature of the island. The May Island in early Christian times was dedi- cated to religious uses, and here a colony of monks under the saintly Adrian were massacred by the Danes. The beautifully shaped Fidra has also its historical associations, having had a monastic establishment in con- nection with the Abbey at North Berwick, and also a castle called Tarbert, which at one time belonged to the Lauders of the Bass.

  • Ladies of the Covenant LILIAS DUNBAR, Mrs
    Ladies of the Covenant LILIAS DUNBAR, Mrs. Campbell. DURING the persecution, the adherents of Presbytery, though most numerous in the south and west of Scotland, were scattered more or less numerously over the northern counties. Even so far north as Morayshire, and in some of the neighbouring shires, not a few of them were to be found. The gospel had been preached in these remote parts, with considerable success, by Mr. Robert Bruce, Mr. David Dickson, and other ministers who had been banished thither by James VI or by the high commission court, for their opposition to the introduction of prelacy, and the fruits of the instructions of these eminent men remained even to the persecuting times. The labours of several very worthy ministers, who were settled in these localities previous to the Restoration, but who, shortly after that era, were ejected from their charges, had been also accompanied, during their incumbency, with no small measure of success; and some of them, as Mr. Thomas Hog, Mr. John M'Gilligen, and Mr. Thomas Ross, continued to preach publicly after their ejection, with evident tokens of the Divine blessing. Many who had profited under their pastoral care, and who sympathized with them and the cause in which they suffered, no doubt went to the parish churches to hear the curates; but while they did so, they were secretly hostile to prelacy, and a considerable number desisted altogether from waiting on the ministry of the conforming clergy. Nor was it the poor and more illiterate, but the more wealthy and the best educated of the population, several of them proprietors of the soil, who favoured the Presbyterian cause.

    A LEX AN i:)EF< ‘Dr. Whyte has at last written his “Life of Christ.”’— Expository Times. Large Crown 87jo. Price 35. bd. net. THE WALK, CONVERSATION AND CHARACTER OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD ‘ Dr. Alexander Whyte’s book commands, like all its writer’s works, the attention of the reader. The author has great dramatic power, and a marked felicity of expression. Dr. Whyte uses the imagery, and even some of the catchwords, of a Calvinism of the past ; but he manages to put new life into them, and to show, sometimes with startling clearness, the lasting truth within the perishable formula.’—Spectator. ‘ It is distinguished by the exegetical and literary qualities that characterise all Dr. Whyte’s writings. His preaching is always intensely earnest, it is thoroughly evangelical, and Dr. Whyte never fails to enforce its lessons by illustrations drawn from his everyday experience, whether in the study or in pastoral visitation.’—Scotsman. ‘ Will rank with every competent judge of Dr. Whyte’s expositions as his very best book. It represents Dr. Whyte at his best. It is practically a life of Christ—and it is that life on its inner side. The titles of the lectures are expressed in a characteristic way, and the treatment of the subject is fresh and original in every case.’—Christian Leader. JAMES FRASER, LAIRD OF BREA —Probed many hearts, beginning with his own. Yea, this man’s brow, like to a title-leaf, Foretells the nature of a tragic volume: Thou tremblest, and the whiteness in thy cheek Is apter than thy tongue to tell thine errand.
