Faith in Their Own Color: Black Episcopalians in Antebellum New York City - Religion and American Culture
Craig Townsend
Founded in 1809, St Philip's had endured forty years of discrimination by the Episcopalian hierarchy. This work tells the story of St Philip's and its struggle to create an autonomous and independent church. It presents the history of New York City and African Americans, and sheds light on the ways religious faith can overcome racial boundaries.
