It was a modest mere 400 years ago that the Anglican Church arrived in America by the way of Jamestown's settlement.
Rather fortunate that the Church has survived in much better form than the orginal setllement, which comprises but a few ruins of structures part of the evolving Jamestown.
Letters from Jamestown are surprisingly readable despite four centuries of langauge change and speak of the importance of "worshipp and praye" to the people of the first years of Jamestown.
Our presiding Bishop has been part of the celebrations marking this anniversary.
