Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous history of a prominent New York City parish, Trinity Church, during the pivotal years of transition from British colonial rule to the formation of the United States. The author meticulously examines the internal struggles and political upheavals that rocked the parish in the wake of the American Revolution, capturing the clash between those who supported the new nation and those who remained loyal to the British crown.

The author reveals the remarkable lengths to which opposing factions went to secure control of the parish, from heated debates to controversial petitions to the nascent government. Through detailed accounts of personalities, meetings, and decisions, the book provides a fascinating and insightful look into the challenges and opportunities that shaped the early years of the American Episcopal Church.
