Religion in early Virginia - wikipedia Religion in early Virginia Jump to : navigation , search St. Luke 's Church in Smithfield , built in the early - to mid-17th century , is the oldest extant brick church in the Thirteen colonies , and the only existing Gothic brick structure in the United States . The history of religion in early Virginia begins with the commencing of Anglican services in Jamestown 1607 , which became the established church in 1619 , and culminates with the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in 1786 .

Government and college officials in the capital at Williamsburg were required to attend services at this Anglican church . The Church of England was legally established in the colony in 1619 , and authorities in England sent in 22 Anglican clergyman by 1624 . In practice , establishment meant that local taxes were funneled through the local parish to handle the needs of local government , such as roads and poor relief , in addition to the salary of the minister . There never was a bishop in colonial Virginia , and in practice the local vestry consisting of laymen controlled the parish . Anglican parishes ( edit ) After five very difficult years , during which the majority of the new arrivals quickly died , the colony began to grow more successfully . As in England , the parish became a unit of local importance , equal in power and practical aspects to other entities , such as the courts and even the House of Burgesses and the Governor 's Council ( the two houses of the Virginia General Assembly ) . ( A parish was normally led spiritually by a rector and governed by a committee of members generally respected in the community which was known as the vestry ) . A typical parish contained three or four churches , as the parish churches needed to be close enough for people to travel to worship services , where attendance was expected of everyone . Parishes typically had a church farm ( or `` glebe '' ) to help support it financially . Expansion and subdivision of the church parishes and , after 1634 , the shires ( or counties ) followed population growth . The intention of the Virginia parish system was to place a church not more than six miles ( 10 km ) - easy riding distance - from every home in the colony . The shires , soon after initial establishment in 1634 known as `` counties '' , were planned to be not more than a day 's ride from all residents , so that court and other business could be attended to in a practical manner . In the 1740s , the established Anglican church had about 70 parish priests around the colony . There was no bishop , and indeed , there was fierce political opposition to having a bishop in the colony . The Anglican priests were supervised directly by the Bishop of London . Each county court gave tax money to the local vestry , composed of prominent laymen . The vestry provided the priest a glebe of 200 or 300 acres ( 1.2 km ) , a house , and perhaps some livestock . The vestry paid him an annual salary of 16,000 pounds - of - tobacco , plus 20 shillings for every wedding and funeral . While not poor , the priests lived modestly and their opportunities for improvement were slim . Missionaries ( edit ) 19th - century depiction of the baptism of Pocahontas by John Gadsby Chapman Religious leaders in England felt they had a duty as missionaries to bring Christianity ( or more specifically , the religious practices and beliefs of the Church of England in contrast to the Latin incursion of Central and South America ) , to the Native Americans . There was an assumption that their own `` mistaken '' spiritual beliefs were largely the result of a lack of education and literacy , since the Powhatan did not have need for a written language . Therefore , teaching them these skills would logically result in what the English saw as `` enlightenment '' in their religious practices , and bring them into the fold of the church , which was part of the government , and hence , a form of control . One of the earliest of these missionaries was Reverend Alexander Whitaker , who served from 1611 until his death in 1616 . The efforts to educate and convert the natives were minimal , though the Indian school remained open until the Revolution . Apart from the Nansemond tribe , which had converted in 1638 , and a few isolated individuals over the years , the other Powhatan tribes as a whole did not fully convert to Christianity until 1791 . Alternatives to the established church ( edit ) The colonists were typically inattentive , uninterested , and bored during church services , according to the ministers , who complained that the people were sleeping , whispering , ogling the fashionably dressed women , walking about and coming and going , or at best looking out the windows or staring blankly into space . The lack of towns means the church had to serve scattered settlements , while the acute shortage of trained ministers meant that piety was hard to practice outside the home . Some ministers solved this problem by encouraging parishioners to become devout at home , using the Book of Common Prayer for private prayer and devotion . This allowed devout Anglicans to lead an active and sincere religious life apart from the unpopular formal church services . However the stress on private devotion weakened the need for a bishop or a large institutional church of the sort Blair wanted . The stress on personal piety opened the way for the First Great Awakening , which pulled people away from the established church . Especially in the back country , most families had no religious affiliation whatsoever and their low moral standards were shocking to proper Englishmen . The Baptists , Methodists , Presbyterians and other evangelicals directly challenged these lax moral standards and refused to tolerate them in their ranks . The evangelicals identified as sinful the traditional standards of masculinity which revolved around gambling , drinking , and brawling , and arbitrary control over women , children , and slaves . The religious communities enforced new standards , creating a new male leadership role that followed Christian principles and became dominant in the 19th century . Baptists , German Lutherans and Presbyterians , funded their own ministers , and favored disestablishment of the Anglican church . Presbyterians ( edit ) The Augusta Stone Church in Augusta County , built in 1749 , is the oldest Presbyterian church building in continuous use in Virginia The First Great Awakening impacted the area in the 1740s , leading Samuel Davies to be sent from Pennsylvania in 1747 to lead and minister to religious dissenters in Hanover County , Virginia . He eventually helped found the first presbytery in Virginia ( the Presbytery of Hanover ) , evangelized slaves ( remarkable in its time , ) , and influenced young Patrick Henry who traveled with his mother to listen to sermons . The Presbyterians were evangelical dissenters , mostly Scotch - Irish Americans who expanded in Virginia between 1740 and 1758 , immediately before the Baptists . Where Presbyterians dominated the parish and county , they could also exercise power through the established church 's vestry , whose composition reflected their leadership and influence . For example , Presbyterians filled at least nine of the twelve positions on the first vestry of Augusta parish in Staunton , Virginia , founded in 1746 . Spangler ( 2008 ) argues that Presbyterians were more energetic and held frequent services better attuned to the frontier conditions of the colony . Presbyterianism grew in frontier areas where the Anglicans had made little impress , especially the western areas of the Piedmont and the valley of Virginia . Uneducated whites and blacks were attracted to the emotional worship of the denomination , its emphasis on biblical simplicity , and its psalm singing . Presbyterians were a cross-section of society ; they were involved in slaveholding and in patriarchal ways of household management , while the Presbyterian Church government featured few democratic elements . Some local Presbyterian churches , such as Briery in Prince Edward County owned slaves . The Briery church purchased five slaves in 1766 and raised money for church expenses by hiring them out to local planters . Baptists ( edit ) History of Virginia By year Pre-statehood American Revolution U.S. Civil War Post-Civil War Topics : Cities - Politics - Slavery Virginia portal Helped by the First Great Awakening and numerous itinerant self - proclaimed missionaries , by the 1760s Baptists were drawing Virginians , especially poor white farmers , into a new , much more democratic religion . Slaves were welcome at the services and many became Baptists at this time . Baptist services were highly emotional ; the only ritual was baptism , which was applied by immersion ( not sprinkling like the Anglicans ) only to adults . Opposed to the low moral standards prevalent in the colony , the Baptists strictly enforced their own high standards of personal morality , with special concern for sexual misconduct , heavy drinking , frivolous spending , missing services , cursing , and revelry . Church trials were held frequently and members who did not submit to disciple were expelled . Historians have debated the implications of the religious rivalries for the American Revolution . The Baptist farmers did introduce a new egalitarian ethic that largely displaced the semi-aristocratic ethic of the Anglican planters . However , both groups supported the Revolution . There was a sharp contrast between the austerity of the plain - living Baptists and the opulence of the Anglican planters , who controlled local government . Baptist church discipline , mistaken by the gentry for radicalism , served to ameliorate disorder . As population became more dense , the county court and the Anglican Church were able to increase their authority . The Baptists protested vigorously ; the resulting social disorder resulted chiefly from the ruling gentry 's disregard of public need . The vitality of the religious opposition made the conflict between ' evangelical ' and ' gentry ' styles a bitter one . The strength of the evangelical movement 's organization determined its ability to mobilize power outside the conventional authority structure . The struggle for religious toleration erupted and was played out during the American Revolution , as the Baptists , in alliance with Anglicans Thomas Jefferson and James Madison worked successfully to disestablish the Anglican church . Methodists ( edit ) Methodist missionaries were also active in the late colonial period . From 1776 to 1815 Methodist Bishop Francis Asbury made 42 trips into the western parts to visit Methodist congregations . He preached at Benns Methodist Church , near Smithfield , Virginia in 1804 . Methodists encouraged an end to slavery , and welcomed free blacks and slaves into active roles in the congregations . Like the Baptists , Methodists made conversions among slaves and free blacks , and provided more of a welcome to them than in the Anglican Church . Some blacks were selected as preachers . During the Revolutionary War , about 700 Methodist slaves sought freedom behind British lines . The British transported them and other Black Loyalists , as they were called , for resettlement to its colony of Nova Scotia . In 1791 Britain helped some of the Black Loyalists , who had encountered racism among other Loyalists , and problems with the climate and land given to them , to resettle in Sierra Leone in Africa . Following the Revolution , in the 1780s , itinerant Methodist preachers carried copies of an anti-slavery petition in their saddlebags throughout the state , calling for an end to slavery . In addition , they encouraged slaveholders to manumit their slaves . So many slaveholders did so that the proportion of free blacks in Virginia in the first two decades after the Revolutionary War increased to 7.3 percent of the population , from less than one percent . At the same time , counter-petitions were circulated . The petitions were presented to the Assembly ; they were debated , but no legislative action was taken , and after 1800 there was gradually reduced religious opposition to slavery as it had renewed economic importance after invention of the cotton gin . Religious freedom and disestablishment ( edit ) Main article : Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom The Baptists and Presbyterians were subject to many legal constraints and faced growing persecution ; between 1768 and 1774 , about half of the Baptists ministers in Virginia were jailed for preaching . In 1689 , the Act of Toleration had allowed freedom of worship . At the start of the Revolution , the Anglican Patriots realized that they needed dissenter support for effective wartime mobilization , so they met most of the dissenters ' demands in return for their support of the war effort . After the American victory in the war , the Anglican establishment sought to reintroduce state support for religion . This effort failed when non-Anglicans gave their support to Thomas Jefferson 's `` Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom '' , which eventually became law in 1786 . With freedom of religion the new watchword , the Church of England was dis - established in Virginia . During the war , 24 ( 20 % ) of the 124 Anglican ministers were active Loyalists . They generally went into exile , and Britain paid some of their financial losses . When possible , worship continued in the usual fashion , but the local vestry no longer distributed tax money or had local government functions such as poor relief . The Right Reverend James Madison ( 1749 -- 1812 ) , a cousin of Patriot James Madison , was appointed in 1790 as the first Episcopal Bishop of Virginia and he slowly rebuilt the denomination within freedom of choice of belief and worship .

Question: who got the most passing yards in the nfl


List of Manchester United F.C. Managers - wikipedia List of Manchester United F.C. Managers Jump to : navigation , search Sir Alex Ferguson , the most decorated manager in the history of Manchester United Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club based in Old Trafford , Greater Manchester . The club was formed in Newton Heath in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR F.C. , and played their first competitive match in October 1886 , when they entered the First Round of the 1886 -- 87 FA Cup . The club was renamed Manchester United F.C. in 1902 , and moved to Old Trafford in 1910 . From the beginning of the club 's official managerial records in 1892 to the start of the 2017 -- 18 season , Manchester United have had 22 full - time managers . The current manager is José Mourinho who took over from Louis van Gaal on 27 May 2016 . The longest - serving and most successful person to manage Manchester United is Sir Alex Ferguson , who won 13 Premier League titles , five FA Cups , four League Cups , 10 Community Shields , two UEFA Champions League titles , one UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup , one UEFA Super Cup , one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup in his managerial reign of more than 26 years . Contents ( hide ) 1 Managerial history 2 Statistics 3 Notes 4 References 5 External links Managerial History ( edit ) From 1878 to 1914 , the team was selected by a committee whose secretary had the same powers and role as a manager has today . There were four secretaries during this period , A.H. Albut , James West , Ernest Mangnall and John Bentley . Ernest Mangnall was the first man to bring any major silverware to the club , winning the club 's first ever Football League title in 1908 . This was followed by the FA Cup the following season , and another league title in 1911 . Despite this success , though , he left the club a year later to join local rivals Manchester City . Coincidentally , Mangnall 's last match in charge of United was the Old Trafford derby of 7 September 1912 . John Bentley took over as club secretary , but was replaced two years later by Jack Robson , who became the club 's first full - time manager . He remained in the post for seven years , but resigned in December 1921 after succumbing to a bout of pneumonia . Robson was followed soon after by John Chapman . However , in Chapman 's first season at the club , they were relegated to the Second Division for the first time since 1906 . Three years in the Second Division followed , before promotion back to the First Division . After guiding the club to 9th place in the league and the FA Cup semi-finals in 1925 -- 26 , Chapman received a telegram from the Football Association on 8 October 1926 informing him of his suspension from management for the rest of the season ; no reason was given . Half - back Lal Hilditch took over for the remainder of the season , before Herbert Bamlett took permanent control . Bamlett was manager for four years , but was unable to muster any success , the club 's highest position during his reign being 12th . The club was relegated to the Second Division again in 1931 , and Bamlett was replaced by club secretary Walter Crickmer . This was Crickmer 's first of two spells as manager of the club , retaining his position as secretary all the while . It lasted only a season , though , as he failed to return the club to the First Division . In June 1932 , Scott Duncan was appointed as manager , but in his second season in charge he led the club to what remains a club record lowest League position ; 20th in the Second Division . The club held faith in Duncan though , and he managed to get the club back into the First Division by 1936 . However , the club was relegated again the following year , and Walter Crickmer resumed control until the end of the Second World War . Before the end of the war , the club approached Matt Busby , who had just turned down the opportunity to join the coaching staff at Liverpool , on the grounds that he wanted more responsibility over the playing side of the club than merely the selection of the team . United allowed Busby the responsibilities he requested , and in his first five seasons in charge he guided the team to four second - place finishes in the league , before finally winning his first title in 1952 . He soon set about replacing many of the more experienced players with a group of youths who came to be known as the `` Busby Babes '' . This team went on to win two league titles in 1955 -- 56 and 1956 -- 57 , as well as reaching two FA Cup finals . Unfortunately , the careers of many of the players were cut short by the Munich air disaster , which also left Busby fighting for his life . While Busby was in hospital recovering from the injuries he sustained in the air crash , his managerial duties were left to his assistant , Jimmy Murphy . After Busby recovered , he set about rebuilding his side , and within five years , in 1963 , he had won the FA Cup for the first time in 15 years . This was followed up by two league titles in three years , and then the greatest prize in European club football , the European Cup . He continued as manager for one more year after this success , leaving his managerial duties to club trainer Wilf McGuinness . McGuinness struggled in his new post , however , and Busby was convinced to return for the second half of the 1970 -- 71 season . However , he retired from football permanently that summer , and was succeeded that summer by Frank O'Farrell . O'Farrell's stay was short - lived , though , as his inability to control George Best 's extravagances forced the board to sack him with three years still to run on his contract . O'Farrell's replacement was to be Scotland coach , Tommy Docherty . Docherty left the Scotland job and his first task at United was to keep the club in the top flight . He managed it once , but he was unable to pull it off again and the club was relegated in 1973 -- 74 . They bounced straight back up the following season , though , and in their first season back in the top flight , the team cruised to a third - place finish and yet another FA Cup final . The next year , they went one better , beating Liverpool in the final to claim his first and only trophy at Old Trafford . It was soon discovered , however , that Docherty was having an affair with the wife of the club 's physiotherapist , and he was immediately fired , replaced by Queens Park Rangers ' manager Dave Sexton . Sexton remained in the United job for four years , but was unable to produce any silverware , and was replaced in 1981 by Ron Atkinson . Atkinson was able to rekindle the club 's cup success , leading his side to two FA Cups in his five - year tenure . He also oversaw a series of respectable finishes in the league , but after his disastrous start to the 1986 -- 87 season , he was sacked . His replacement , Alex Ferguson , had , in recent years , become the first manager to break the dominance of Rangers and Celtic in the Scottish league for over 15 years , winning the Scottish Premier Division title with Aberdeen three times in six years , as well as finishing as runner - up twice and winning the European Cup - Winners Cup . During his tenure , Ferguson was credited with the distinction of making some of the most shrewd purchases in the club 's history , including the signings of Peter Schmeichel and Eric Cantona , each for less than £ 1.5 million . With these signings , combined with the club 's many experienced players , Ferguson brought the league title back to Old Trafford for the first time in 26 years . In the following decade , he won the Premier League title another six times , including a hat - trick of titles from 1999 to 2001 , a feat that no other manager has yet achieved with the same club . In 1999 , he also led the club to an unprecedented Treble of Premier League , FA Cup and UEFA Champions League . Subsequently , he added another three league titles to his trophy haul , despite a number of promises of retirement . Ferguson won his 10th Premier League title in the 2007 -- 08 season , and followed this up with his second Champions League title 10 days later . In 2008 -- 09 , Ferguson guided United to another Premier League title , making Manchester United the only club and him the only manager to have won the English league title three times in a row twice . His 12th title , in the 2010 -- 11 season , was United 's 19th overall , overtaking Liverpool 's record of 18 . Ferguson won his 13th and final league title in the 2012 -- 13 season , making 20 titles overall for United . At the end of the season , Ferguson announced his retirement , and he was replaced by Everton manager David Moyes . In his first match , Moyes gave United their 20th Community Shield and his first trophy as United manager ; however , after failing to lead the club to Champions League qualification , he was sacked before the end of his first season , with Ryan Giggs taking temporary charge for the final four games of the 2013 -- 14 season where the club finished seventh , their lowest league finish since the establishment of the Premier League . Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal was appointed as Moyes ' permanent replacement on 19 May 2014 , taking charge after the end of the 2014 FIFA World Cup . In his inaugural season , United signed many prominent players and returned to the Champions League with a 4th - place finish . In his second season , United finished in 5th place behind Manchester City , out of Champions League position , but won the 2016 FA Cup , the club 's first in a dozen years . The board , however , decided that not enough progress had been made from the previous season and Van Gaal was sacked on 23 May 2016 , just days after lifting the cup . He was replaced by two - time European champion and former Chelsea boss José Mourinho on 27 May 2016 . Mourinho became United 's fourth manager ( including Giggs ) in as many years since Ferguson 's retirement . Statistics ( edit ) Information correct as of 21 April 2018 .
