Abstract
Geographical distance did not isolate the Anglican church in Virginia from the divisions within the Church of England. Ministers and congregations were active and worshipped in the manner of traditional Anglicans, Puritans, or Nonconformists. The religious practices of a church may have reflected the preferences of the current minister or the sentiments of strong-willed members of the congregation. The question of how Anglican the seventeenth-century Virginia church was, evades a definitive answer. Was the practice of the church in the new colony an extension or variant of the Anglicanism represented by Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, or by such leaders as Archbishops of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer, George Abbot, or William Laud, or by such leaders as the codifier of the Ecclesiastical Laws of the English Church, Richard Hooker?
