The history of the Episcopal Church in America is as old as English colonization. Arriving with the Jamestown settlers, Episcopalianism is really transplanted Anglicanism, and historian Charles C.

In his survey, Tiffany dissects the differences between high- and low-church Episcopalians, the expansion of the denomination throughout the colonies, the development of ecclesiastical structures and documents, and theological diversity within the denomination.
