About the Book
|
In 1635 Joseph Hull, an Anglican minister, emigrates with his second wife and seven children to Weymouth, Massachusetts, where he hopes to establish a church that will counteract the growing separatist sentiment in the colonies. Displaced by a rival minister, he moves to Hingham and Barnstable before finding a congenial post in Maine Returning to England, he is caught up in the turmoil surrounding Cromwell and the Protectorate. With the restoration of the monarchy, his loyalty to Church and Crown is questioned. He returns to Maine, where two Quaker women disrupt his service. He finds some peace ministering to fishermen on the Isles of Shoals. His odyssey includes encounters with Ferdinando Gorges, John Winthrop, and George Fox. Hull's steadfast loyalty throughout to the Church of England makes his story different and possibly unique.
