Résumé
In British North America, the nature and growth of the Church of England was conditioned by specific circumstances, not the least of which being the absence of a resident bishop. This bishop-less Episcopalian Church was also unusually dependent on civilian power and, to make things worse, was globally a minority church. This essay seeks to discuss the characteristics of what has been termed "colonial Anglicanism" from the foundation of Virginia to the 1750s.
