During the revolution, St. Paul's was known for Loyalist leanings. It's Episcopalian, which is a subset of Anglican, which you'll remember is the 'Church of England' - you can probably guess whose side they were one. Church services specifically prayed for the King and Royal Family, which you can imagine wasn't too popular with the revolutionaries who were occupying the town in 1776.

  • During the revolution, St. Paul's was known for Loyalist leanings.

Church services specifically prayed for the King and Royal Family, which you can imagine wasn't too popular with the revolutionaries who were occupying the town in 1776. After the war ended there was a turnaround in the Church's politics. The rector and some of the more Loyalist congregants left New York, and it became more Patriot-friendly. George Washington attended a service here on his inauguration day, and kept attending while he lived in New York - which probably went a long way toward repairing the church's reputation among the Patriot population.
