  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

  • John Vardill: a Loyalist's Progress
    JOHN VARDILL: A LOYALIST'S PROGRESS by STEVEN GRAHAM WIGELY .A., University of California at Irvine, 1971 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of History We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May, 1975 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of a loyalist of the American Revolution named John .Vardill. A native of New York who went to England in 1774, he was an Anglican clergyman, a pamphlet• eer, a professor at King's College (New York), and a spy for the British. The purpose of the thesis is: 1. to tell his story, and 2. to argue that his loyalism was a perfectly rea• sonable consequence of his environment and experiences. The text begins with an Introduction (Chapter I) which places Vardill in colonial and English society, and justifies studying one who was neither among the very powerful nor the very weak. It then proceeds to a consideration of the circum• stances and substance of his claim for compensation from the , British government after the war (Chapter II).

Barry Levis While clergy in other denominations certainly preached about the conflicts between the American colonies and Great Britain, this paper will be focusing solely on the colonial clergy of the Church of England. Some significant differences existed between the Anglican clergy and other denominations. First, they had not come to the colonies because of perceived religious persecution. They were clergy of the Established Church whose supreme governor was the king. Secondly, unlike other clergy, they had taken an ordination oath of allegiance to the crown, which many high churchmen regarded as sacrosanct. The Church of England in the American colonies was really not a single institution. Because no local bishop governed the church in America, falling as it did under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London, the clergy tended to have differing loyalties.

  • The Episcopal Church and the American Revolution
    The Episcopal Church and the American Revolution David L. Holmes evolutions, like street fights," an Episcopal church historian has written, "are likely to be as dangerous to the innocent by- JL ^standers as to the participants."1 Technically speaking, the Ang- lican Church in America was an innocent bystander in the American Revo- lution. But since it lived in the neighborhood of one of the participants and was intimately related to the other, it emerged with a terrible beat- ing. The war raised questions of patriotism, of loyalty, and of the obliga- tions of Christians at a time of war, and Americans who have lived through the Civil War or the Vietnam War have been there. Distinguished from other denominations in the colonies by its triple attachment to the Book of Common Prayer, to the Monarchy, and to the Episcopate, the American transplantation of the Church of England seemed in good condition on the eve of the Revolution. Anglicanism- the terms 'Protestant Episcopal" or "Episcopal Church" were not officially adopted until the 1780's- was not only the second largest denomination in the thirteen colonies but also one that was increasing rapidly. Although the Anglican parishes had their problems, the question of survival ap- peared not to be one. Yet Anglicanism emerged from the Revolutionary War seriously weakened in most of the newly-independent states and on the point of extinction in others. In New England-a traditional stronghold of anti-Anglicanism, where Congregationalism was established by law in all colonies except Rhode Mr. Holmes is Associate Professor of Religion at the College of William and Mary and Visiting Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia - Editors Note .

Their value to the student of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries cannot be overemphasized, since the political, literary and apologetical Issues of those periods were largely debated and won in pamphlet warfare. The Church historian, moreover, is so much indebted to early leaflets for many basic facts that an analyzed collection of this kind must invariably stimulate research in the department of parochial origins and growth. The original plan called for a terminal cross-reference index of parishes, persons, issues and themes, but lack of opportunity made that part of the proj- ect impossible at this time, (it may, of course, be undertaken later on as a separate venture.)

This is a question that was much discussed both during and following the event which we call the American Revolution. It is sti 11 much discussed today. Historians in the n.ineteenth century were primarily concerned with the prin- ciples of liberty and democracy which they felt were central themes of the Revo.,.. lution. In the twentieth century, however, the main emphasis changed. During the early part of the present century historians began to emphasize the democratic and social forces that came out of our Revolutionary experience.
