FEATURES
Glimpsing our roots A look at Jamestown, Virginia, then and now
[Episcopal Life] Editor's Note: As Episcopalians join in commemorations of the 400th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement in North America, some may wonder how that beginning relates to the complex religious and political world we know today. Episcopal Life's Jan Nunley engages two historians in a conversation about the significance of Jamestown to the development of the Episcopal Church and Anglicanism in America. Joan Gundersen is professor emeritus of history at California State University, a research scholar in women's studies at the University of Pittsburgh and co-author, with Edward Bond, of a forthcoming history of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. Historical interpreter Anne Conkling is a longtime docent at Jamestown and Williamsburg, Virginia, and a member of Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg.
The following text is from the July issue of Episcopal Life. An extended version of the text is also available and follows the edited version.
