You need to do your homework on colonial Episcopalians. Some may be described as Zwinglian, but you will not be able to describe them as Calvinist no matter how much you laugh.

"You need to do your homework on colonial Episcopalians. Some may be described as Zwinglian, but you will not be able to describe them as Calvinist no matter how much you laugh."

Try telling that to one of the foremost experts on the subject and make even more of a fool of yourself:

Dr. George Bancroft, arguably the most prominent American historian of the 19th century — and not a Calvinist — stated:

"He who will not honor the memory and respect the influence of Calvin knows but little of the origin of American liberty"
