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." 410 0$aLewis Walpole series in eighteenth-century culture and history. 606 $aAnglican Communion$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aAnglican Communion$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y17th century 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y18th century 615 0$aAnglican Communion$xHistory 615 0$aAnglican Communion$xHistory 676 $a283/.4209033 700 $aSirota$b Brent S.$f1976-$01488074 701 $aJohnson$b James J$01143011 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791315903321 996 $aThe Christian monitors$93708278 997 $aUNINA
