From the front jacket flap: `He was in hiding from, and a captive of, the Revolutionary forces; and, after he was set free, a chaplain of the Crown. Refusing to leave his native land, and that of his fathers, to minister to the Loyalists in exile in Nova Scotia, he sought consecration, and received it from non-juring Scottish Bishops in 1784. As Bishop of Connecticut from 1785-1796, he established a structure and liturgy suited to an indigenous New England Church, which was High in its theory, Evangelical in its preaching, and with roots among a clergy and laity of formerly Puritan background. In the controversies over the organization of an united American Episcopal Church he championed this native High Church tradition which was to grow and evolve into the American Oxford Movement and the Anglo-Catholicism of the present day.'
