The history of the Episcopal Church is intimately bound up with the history of empire. The two grew in tandem in the modern era, and as they grew they developed particular ideologies and practices around race. As slavery was carried over into the new political formations of the United States, so too were racially based exclusions carried over in the Episcopal Church.
Mission, Race, and Empire presents a new history of the Episcopal Church from its origins in the early British Empire up to the present, told through the lenses of empire and race. The book demonstrates the dramatic shifts within the Episcopal Church, from initial colonial violence to reflective self-critique. Jennifer Snow centers the stories of groups and individuals that have often been sidelined, including Native Americans, Black Americans, Asian Americans, women, and LGBTQ people, as well as the institutional leaders who sought to create, or fought against, a church that desired to be a house of prayer for all people.
Jennifer C. Snow is Associate Professor of Practical Theology at Church Divinity School of the Pacific. Her interest in the ways in which church and state interact with religious and racial others led her to the study of Protestant missionaries, as a source of historical development of theories and practices of religious identity, incorporation, and exclusion. She is the author of Protestant Missionaries, Asian Immigrants, and Ideologies of Race in America, 1850-1924.
