APPENDIX SEVEN

Sermon by the Reverend Bryan Lord Fairfax

This “lost sermon” was recently rediscovered, thanks to the help of the Virginia Historical Society, and is published here with their kind permission. We include it because it shows the biblical nature of the Gospel preaching of the Reverend Bryan Lord Fairfax. The Fairfax family had the deepest influence of all families, other than Washington’s own, on his life and values. Bryan Fairfax not only served as the pastor at Washington’s church in Alexandria, but he was a life-long friend, neighbor, confidant, and fellow fox-hunter. The evidence shows that Washington sought Reverend Fairfax’s pastoral ministry at times of spiritual need, as when Washington asked Reverend Fairfax to officiate at his nephew’s funeral.

The sermon reflects the Gospel preaching that George Washington would have experienced from his personal and pastoral friend. This sermon focuses on the New Testament doctrine of eternal life by faith in Christ’s redeeming work on the cross that results in the obedience of good works. It reflects a modified Calvinist theology of the atonement of Christ.
