Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the American Church to the Close of the Nineteenth Century A Branch of the Catholic Church. - In writing or reading a history of the Church in the United States of America, one must bear in mind the fact that the American Church is but a branch of the Catholic Church. The term ´American Church´ is merely a geographical one, used as a matter of convenience, and not as meaning to imply that she is a self-centred and independent whole. Indeed, the American Church is only a reality as she is an integral and indivisible part of the Catholic Church. It is as a contribution, therefore, to the history of the whole that this volume proceeds to record the life and work of that part of it which belongs to the region more particularly involved. First Services. - While this special history begins, practically, with the colonies that settled on the Atlantic coast, it is not to be forgotten that the first services of the Anglican Prayer Book were held some years earlier on the Pacific coast. These were held on or about St. John Baptist´s Day, 1579, by the Rev. Francis Fletcher, the chaplain who sailed with Sir Francis Drake. His place of landing is generally believed to have Drake´s Bay, California. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
