Synopsis

This book traces the history of the Protestant Episcopal church in Maryland from the Revolution onward, describing key moments and milestones such as the 1783 Declaration of Rights. It explores the development of the church's liturgy, clergy, and organization, including the establishment of a system of Bishops, priests, and deacons. The author discusses unique challenges faced by the church, such as the need to establish an independent religious identity and to respond to the era's political and social changes. In tracing the church's journey through the colonial period, the Revolution, and into the 19th century, the book provides insight into the broader religious and cultural currents that shaped the young United States.
