The division of the Synod and the spread of Presbyterianism in Virginia were both the results of the great religious revival extending at that time 1 Given in Foote, p. 104. 'Peyton, p. 80. sFoote, p. 119. throughout the English colonies in America. The.general revival has been called the " Great Awakening of 1740," but it was not confined to that year.1 It had commenced several years before that date, and it continued for some time after. It had sprung up independently in America before the coming of Whitefield, but it was greatly augmented by the preaching of that wonderful man. )The ideas emphasized in the revival were the necessity of the new birth for salvation and the ability of the convert to recognize the change in his spiritual nature, --doctrines which had been largely lost sight of by all the churches. Religion had become a matter of form, not of experience. The revival, then, was a protest against this formalism, and it affected all denominations. In the controversies that it either started or augmented, the Baptist and the Presbyterian churches were both split in two; the Baptist into Regular and Separate, the Presbyterian into Old Side and New Side. Among the Presbyterians, the Synod of Philadelphia was Old Side; New Side were the Presbyteries of New Castle, New Brunswick, and New York. The whole movement was called by its opponents the " New Light Stir," and its preachers " New Lights!" Before the coming of any of these preachers into Virginia, reports of the religious excitement prevailing in the North had reached the people of that colony.2 In Hanover county, a small company of those who had...

The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom

Book Description
This book colourfully examines a famous Jeffersonian document which set the precedent for the US Constitution's guarantee of religious liberty. Jefferson wrote the Virginia Statute, shepherded it through a decade-long struggle to adoption, and included it in his epitaph (along with the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the University of Virginia). The Statute's history reflects two key revolutionary principles: absolute freedom of religious conscience; and the separation of church and state. Both principles remain lively topics of debate on the contemporary religious and political scene. Papers collected here were presented at a conference sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy. Among the contributors are several of America's most prominent religious and political historians and experts on jurisprudence.

Excerpt: ... incorporated religious sects, all of which is inconsistent with the principles of the constitution and of religious freedom and manifestly tends to the establishment of a national Church"; it then repeals all these laws."0 This caused all the property in any way held by Episcopal Church organization to revert to the public rise, unless for some special reason retained. Affairs remained in this condition until the session of 1801, when the Legislature returned to the charge and on January 12, 1802, passed a bill directing the overseers of the poor to sell the glebes for the benefit of the public. The preamble to this bill sets forth that " the General Assembly on the twenty-fourth day of January, 1799, by their act of that date, repealed all the laws relative to the late Protestant Episcopal Church, and declared a true exposition of the principles of the bill of rights and constitution respecting the same to be contained in the act entitled 'An act for establishing religious freedom' (Jefferson's law of 1785); thereby recognizing the principle that all property formerly belonging to the said Church, of every description, devolved on the good people of this Commonwealth on the dissolution of the British government here in the same degree in which the right and interest of the said Church was therein derived from them; and that although the General Assembly had the right to authorize the sale of all such property indiscriminately, yet being desirous to reconcile all the good people of this Commonwealth, it was deemed inexpedient at that time to disturb the possession of the present incumbents." The law then enacted that in any county where any glebe was or should become vacant, the overseers of the poor should have full power to sell the...
