The article presents an in-depth examination into the church history Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the larger colony during the early 18th-century. The first section outlines the formation of the commonwealth in the 1670s by William Penn, the establishment of the Church of England in the region, and the subsequent conflicted relations between Quakers and the Anglicans for several decades. The second section profiles the Anglican priest Robert Jenney, who assumed control of the ministries of Christ Church of Philadelphia in 1714 and worked to promote education and missionary work in the community.
