July 5, 2026: How Religious Was George Washington?

Rev. Dennis McCarty

Rev. Dennis McCarty will observe the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding with: "How Religious Was George Washington?" In the early 19th century, George Washington had almost godlike stature himself. Religious believers and non-believers of all stripes appropriated him as justification for their own views, and still do. But how did Washington himself negotiate the complex religious tapestry of the new United States? Rev. McCarty will review a bit of the history and try to draw lessons for our 21st century journey.

Rev. Dennis McCarty is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington, and Minister Emeritus at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbus, Indiana.

In this service, we will explore different understandings of Source and how we might draw on That Which is Greater Than Us for spiritual nourishment. With Rev. Sarah Gettie McNeill.
