How Our Church Came to Georgia

The following is part ten of a project by Morehouse Publishing. The overall project was named “How Our Church Came to Our Country.” Part X was a history of the Church of England in Georgia becoming the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia. The history goes through 1908. It was written by Jimmy Lawrence, who was added as a Saint of Georgia by then Bishop Henry Louttit in 1998.
