This book looks at how that oft-maligned institution, the Anglican
Church, coped with mass migration from Britain in the first half of
the nineteenth century. The book details the great array of
institutions, voluntary societies and inter-colonial networks that
furnished the Church with the men and money that enabled it to
sustain a common institutional structure and a common set of
beliefs across a rapidly-expanding 'British world'. It also sheds
light on how this institutional context contributed to the
formation of colonial Churches with distinctive features and
identities. One of the book's key aims is to show how the colonial
Church should be of interest to more than just scholars and
students of religious and Church history. The colonial Church was
an institution that played a vital role in the formation of
political publics and ethnic communities in a settler empire that
was being remoulded by the advent of mass migration, democracy and
the separation of Church and State. -- .
