  • “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia
    “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia By Frances Watson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Liberty University 2021 Table of Contents Introduction 2 Chapter One: Beyond Evangelical – Anglican Revivalists 14 Chapter Two: Beyond Tolerant – Spreading Evangelicalism 34 Chapter Three: Beyond Patriotic – Proponents of Liberty 55 Conclusion 69 Bibliography 77 ~ 1 ~ Introduction While preaching Devereux Jarratt’s funeral service, Francis Asbury described him thus: “He was a faithful and successful preacher. He had witnessed four or five periodical revivals of religion in his parish. When he began his labours, there was no other, that he knew of, evangelical minister in all the province!”1 However, at the time of his death, Jarratt would be one of a growing number of Evangelical Anglican ministers in the province of Virginia. Although Anglicanism remained the established church for the first twenty three years of Jarratt’s ministry, the Great Awakening forcefully brought the message of Evangelicalism to the colonies. As the American Revolution neared, new ideas about political and religious freedom arose, and Evangelical dissenters continued to grow in numbers. Into this scene stepped Jarratt, his friend Archibald McRobert, and his student Charles Clay. These three men would distinguish themselves from other Anglican clergymen by emulating the characteristics of the Great Awakening in their ministries, showing tolerance in their relationships with other religious groups, and providing support for American freedoms. Devereux Jarratt, Archibald McRobert, and Charles Clay all lived and mainly ministered to communities in the Piedmont area.

  • One Great Fellowship of Love? Theological Convictions & Ecclesial Realities in the Racial History of the Diocese of North Carolina
    One great fellowship of love? Theological convictions & ecclesial realities in the racial history of the Diocese of North Carolina Address delivered to the Annual Convention of the Diocese The Rev. Dr. Brooks Graebner, Historiographer November 16, 2017 In Christ there is no East or West, in him no South or North, but one great fellowship of love, throughout the whole wide earth. John Oxenham [The Hymnal 1982, #529] Our diocesan racial history interweaves two strands. One is our proclamation that a Church claiming to be “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic” must make no room for racial exclusion; it’s incompatible with who we believe Christ to be, and it violates the nature of the community he came to create. Both black and white Episcopalians have embraced that core conviction and sought to live by it. The other strand is the willingness of white members of our church to countenance exclusionary and unjust practices, to minimize their ongoing impact, and to remain apathetic. This willingness has compromised our efforts to minister with African Americans, and left us ill-prepared to heed the call to racial justice. All three antebellum bishops of our diocese—John Stark Ravenscroft, Levi Silliman Ives, and Thomas Atkinson—were vigorous promoters of slave evangelization, and they did not hesitate publicly to commend those members of the church, lay and clergy, who embraced this work.1 They were especially solicitous of slaveholders who made provision for such ministrations by building plantation chapels and engaging minsters to do catechetical work with the enslaved population. In this regard, Bishop Ives’ report of his 1846 visitation to New Bern 1 John Hope Frankin, “Negro Episcopalians in Ante-bellum North Carolina” Historical Magazine of the Protestant Episcopal Church XIII.3 (September 1944) 216-234.

  • THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH in NORTH CAROLINA 1587-2015 Historical Overview the Rev
    THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN NORTH CAROLINA 1587-2015 Historical Overview The Rev. Dr. N. Brooks Graebner Historiographer, Diocese of North Carolina The story of the Episcopal Church in North Carolina can be traced back to the very first English efforts at colonization during the reign of Elizabeth I. In August 1587, at what is now called “the Lost Colony” on Roanoke Island, the Native American Manteo and the English infant Virginia Dare were baptized. Permanent English settlement did not occur until the mid-17th century, however, and it wasn’t until 1701 that the colonial assembly passed its first Vestry Act, thereby making the Church of England the officially sanctioned faith in North Carolina. This act provided for the creation of precincts – or parishes – administered by local vestries, and the precincts of Chowan, Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Currituck along Albemarle Sound and Pamlico precinct in Bath County date to this time. Principally through levying taxes and fines, colonial vestries in each parish were called upon to make provision for church buildings and ministers, oversee the parish poor, and serve other delegated political functions.1 Thus, the Church of England enjoyed a privileged status and legal advantages not enjoyed by other religious groups in 18th century North Carolina. But these legal provisions by no means guaranteed a strong and vibrant Church, and the history of Colonial Anglicanism in North Carolina is largely a study in frustration. From the outset, many inhabitants were at best indifferent—and often opposed—to the establishment of the Church of England. Already in the late 17th century, the region around Albemarle Sound had become a haven for Quakers, who launched a campaign to have the vestry act repealed.2 And in 1 Robert J.
