| Summary: | In Accidental Pluralism, Evan Haefeli makes an ambitious claim on an ambitious scale. Haefeli argues that religious pluralism in America was the result of approximately 160 years of complex developments which were tied inextricably to English colonization, the English Reformation, and English state-building. These developments were driven by English politics and affected by events, individuals, and circumstances, local as well as broad, though the Crown, Parliament, and the Church of England were at the center. He further argues that religious pluralism was not an inevitable outgrowth of the varying characters of individual colonies, not the result of forward-thinking individuals or groups, and certainly not the result of groups seeking escape from persecution. Rather, arguments over the Church of England’s nature were more or less contained within the Church until such disputes broke open during the English Civil Wars. Despite the monarchy’s restoration in 1660 and firm reestablishment of the Anglican Church, the English world’s religious divisions were too deeply entrenched to be overcome by statute. |
