"As both a preeminent scholar of Black Angelican and Episcopalians and a devout parishoner, the late James Hewitt writes an illuminating history of one of the most famous black congregrations in America. From its humble beginnings, St. Philip's originated from classes conducted by Elais Neau and other Angelic clerks for the Society for the Propagations of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. From these classes emerged a higly educated, African-American group comprised of free and enslaved blacks. W. E. B Du Bois hailed it as the foundation for the Talented Tenth in his classic book 'Souls of Black Folk. ' After the American Revolution, St. Philip's has since becoem the church of middle-class blacks across New York City. Hewlitt's careful and precise scholarship chronicles over two centuries of of the church's history, which fills a significant lacuna in African-American Religious history."
