Church Of England In The Colonies by James Stuart Murray Anderson surveys the interwoven history of English religious policy, imperial expansion, and domestic political conflict in the early 17th century. It traces colonial church governance—from efforts to establish Newfoundland and Bermudas dioceses to the role of education and the SPG in Newfoundland and Montreal—and pairs these developments with the home front’s ecclesiastical reforms and Power struggles under James I and Charles I. The work situates exploration and settlement within faith, national prestige, and commercial aims, covering Hudson and Baffin voyages, the Leyden Puritans, the Mayflower voyage, and Atlantic rivalries. Central debates between episcopal authority and rising Presbyterian/Independent power thread through the era’s key figures—Laud, Strafford, Buckingham, Prynne, Bastwick, Burton, Milton—and culminate in the 1640s with the abolition or subordination of ecclesiastical courts, the Directory for Public Worship, and Parliament’s dominance over church life. The author argues that colonial expansion and missionary effort were deeply entangled with England’s political strife, shaping how Anglican Christianity could be sustained abroad, with case studies of Virginia, Maryland, Newfoundland, Bermuda, and Scotland’s ecclesiastical struggles informing the broader analysis.
