Reverend with Manacles and Holy Writ
“Among the [first English] settlers was Robert Hunt (1568-1608), priest of the Church of England, from which the Episcopal Church is descended. It was under his leadership that the group offered its first prayer services in the New World, notably on May 13, 1607, when the settlers reached the point they would call ‘Jamestowne,’ the first permanent English settlement in the Americas.” – from bulletin insert “Episcopalians will mark 400-year milestone,” available at episcopalchurch.org/400years The Reverend Robert Hunt is played by Burlyn Rogers above. – Photo by Donald Vish, lawyer, poet, and photographer from Louisville, Kentucky |
