Description: In this article for the Journal of Negro History, Pierre provides an overview of the activities of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, a British religious society that was active in America through the start of the Revolutionary War. The Society's efforts eventually spread through all the colonies. Pierre minimizes its affects in some parts of the county but affirms its success in Pennsylvania and New York, especially New York City.
