Following the American Revolution, there was a need for the Episcopal Church in America to become more independent from the Church of England, due to the former's loss of authority in the newly formed United States. This book records the founding of the Episcopal Church in America, including the consecration of bishops, the standardization of liturgy, and the development of an American-based hierarchy separate from the Church of England. The significance of this book is that it provides a detailed account of the institutional development of the Episcopal Church in America, as well as insight into the influence of political and religious change during the time of the American Revolution.
