I just picked up a book *A Blessed Company, Parishes, and Parishioners in
Anglican Virginia, 1690 - 1776* by John K Nelson. This is supposed to
describe the Anglican Church presence, its parish system and growth, etc.
University of North Carolina Press printed in 2001.
I am wondering if any of you are familiar with this text and your thoughts
on the book.
