The Blue Water Policy of the Church of England -- Conclusion -- Notes -- IndexThis original and persuasive book examines the moral and religious revival led by the Church of England before and after the Glorious Revolution, and shows how that revival laid the groundwork for a burgeoning civil society in Britain. After outlining the Church of England's key role in the increase of voluntary, charitable, and religious societies, Brent Sirota examines how these groups drove the modernization of Britain through such activities as settling immigrants throughout the empire, founding charity schools, distributing devotional literature, and evangelizing and educating merchants, seamen, and slaves throughout the British empire-all leading to what has been termed the "age of benevolence."Lewis Walpole series in eighteenth-century culture and history.Anglican CommunionEnglandHistory17th centuryAnglican CommunionEnglandHistory18th centuryEnglandChurch history17th centuryEnglandChurch history18th centuryAnglican CommunionHistoryAnglican CommunionHistory283/.4209033Sirota Brent S.1976-1488074Johnson James J1143011MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791315903321The Christian monitors3708278UNINA
