Her father, originally a Baptist, was strongly influenced by events in the Universalist church that he was converted and raised his family as such. The teachings Clara learned through this family church was that “God encourages all men and women to accept him and charged them to grasp the opportunity to earn salvation-an opportunity open to all”. The Universalist church encouraged being aware of the social happenings around them; to support the education of all youth as well as the idea of charity in the community. While the social teachings of the church were imbued in her, she was never able to fully grasp hold of the actual religion. Clara immersed herself in church work to “keep busy” and help the community around her but never had “deep religious feelings” towards Universalism.
In a letter to Linda, her grandmother reminds her that even though she may not be on Earth much longer, they will always have a connection through God and they will see each other in heaven someday.

I specialized in mathematics and “rules of civility” in my early years of study (Alden, 2005). On matters of religion I worshipped at the Church of England -Episcopal. I went to live with my half brother Lawrence after my father’s death in 1743. The loss of my father was a big blow to me as I had become very close to him. He used to guide me on all matters of life and I consulted him in any difficulty.
While both the western and eastern states practiced religion every Sunday, and had many denominations, they still had very different views on religious practices. In the east, it was common to practice religion in the form of singing psalms and hymnals while playing them on the piano. They discussed religion frequently.
