Description: George F. Bragg offers a detailed history of African American involvement in the Episcopal Church. He begins with the Goose Creek parish in 1695 South Carolina and discusses early communities in Maryland, Virginia and Georgia. The origins of both the Free African Society and of ecumenical work in the North are also discussed. Bragg concentrates on the affairs of nine separate churches, including lists of clergy and important individuals, the Foreign Missionary Society, mission schools, and the antebellum conditions of the churches. His sources are church records and reports, and excerpts of letters.
