December 14 2023 By dvirtue Archbishop Matthew Parker

Parker had earlier been one of Anne Boleyn's chaplains, and then for 16 years (1559-1575) he was the construction manager for what came to be know at the "Elizabethan Settlement."

Some say that Seabury liked the dignity and status of his office too much, signing his first letter to the Connecticut clergy, "Samuel, by divine permission, Bishop of Connecticut," and other letters "Bishop of All America" (imitating "The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Primate of All England").

It describes spiritual exercises that are meant to lead people to Christ, reminiscent of much popular spiritual disciplines literature today and the message of most preachers who fuss at their congregations week after week for not getting better and doing more.
