This book is the only book I know about a long forgotten part of both American and Church history.
The Anglican church played a significant role in the developement of this country. For too long Purtian New England with it's Pilgrims and dissenters has held sway over the religious history of the English colonies in North America.
Anglicans had a tremendous influence in the colonies where they were the established church.
Dr.Woolverton has done extensive research examining every aspect of the church's role both in the official and unofficial life of the colonies. It is a great shame this book has gone out of print. It is a must read for any student of the colonial period or anyone concerned with the history of the church in the 17th and 18th centuries.

I have read this wonderful book, written by a friend and neighbor - I chanced on this link while looking up Phillips Brooks, who was quoted on my home page this morning. In the selection, Brooks said there will be hard times, but now, in the quiet time, is when we cultivate character, so that we will be always ready when we meet temptation or grievous adversity. Woolverton - a very energetic, witty, funny man - and his writing are exemplars of this quiet, which we all need desperately.
