Anglican Church Policy, Eighteenth Century Conflict, and the
American Episcopate examines how leaders in the Church of England
sought to reorganize the colonial church by installing one or two
resident bishops at critical moments in the late 1740s, the early
1760s, and the mid 1770s when the British government moved to bring
the colonies into closer economic and political alignment with
England. Examining Anglican attempts to install bishops into the
American colonies within the context of the Anglo-American world
provides insight into the difficulties British political and
ecclesiastical authorities had in organizing the management of the
colonies more efficiently. Although the Church of England sustained
wide influence over the population, the failure of the Anglicans'
proposal to install bishops into the colonies was symptomatic of
the declining influence of the Church on eighteenth century
politics. Differing views over political and ecclesiastical
authority between the colonists and the Anglicans, and the
possibility religious conflict might have on elections, concerned
British authorities enough not to act on the Anglicans' proposals
for resident bishops for the colonies. The failure also highlights
how eighteenth century British government increasingly focused on
the political and economic administration of the expanded British
Empire rather than its religious administration.
