Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America: Containing, I. A Narrative of the Organization and of the Early Measures of the Church; II. Additional Statements and Remarks; III. An Appendix of Original Papers It has been considered advisable, however, to furnish a prefatory sketch of the rise and progress of the Colonial Church in America. This sketch has been extended into the period of the Revolution, where the Narrative of Bishop White commences. The student will thus be the better prepared to proceed with the study of the half century that follows. This sketch has been made as brief as possible, one leading object of the writer being to give some idea of the legal status of the Church in the different colonies. Attention has been paid to the origin of colonization itself, as writers in the interest of non-Episcopal denominations have sought to keep the agency of the Church of England in the background and to represent our country as indebted solely to the enterprise of their co-religionists. This is especially the case in connection with New England the colonization of which region was the legitimate result of the prior enterprise of loyal sons of the Church, and notably of Sir Ferdinando Gorges. Though Bishop White´s work is composed of three divisions, it will be found well adapted to the wants of the general reader; while the teacher of ecclesiastical history may realize special advantages from this plan, since it thus takes the form of what may be called a progressive class book, capable of valuable service in competent hands. The previous editions had no index, but in the present edition an index is supplied. The "Memoirs" have been republished at the earnest request of many of the clergy, representing all shades of ecclesiastical opinion; the wisdom, justice and comprehensiveness of the views of the eminent and venerable Bishop being fully appreciated and acknowledged. Of the permanent value and high importance of the work there is and never has been any question, and it is now sent forth in the confident expectation that it will continue to be regarded a treasury of important facts respecting the origin and formation of the American Church.
