Beschreibung
This study describes the diverse experiences and political opinions of the colonial Anglican clergy during the American Revolution. As an intercolonial study, it depicts regional variations, but also the full range of ministerial responses including loyalism, neutrality, and patriotism. Rhoden explores the extraordinary dilemmas which tested these members of the King's church, from the 1760s controversy over a proposed episcopate to the 1780s formation of the Episcopal Church, and thoroughly demonstrates the impact of the Revolution on their lives and their church.

'A solid introduction to the denominational history of the Anglican Church during this period. It also gestures toward larger questions of allegiance during the revolution and the creation of American national identity.' - Peter Thompson, Ecclesiastical History
