The Revolution separated the Episcopal Church in the American colonies from the Church of England and necessitated
a reorganization. Many of the clergy had remained loyal to England and had thus left the American church in a weakened
condition. In 1779 the General Assembly of Maryland passed an act providing for the election of vestries, holding of the
church property and appointment of ministers. Several conventions of clergy and laity were held at Chestertown and An-
napolis beginning in 1780. In June, 1784, a convention was held at Annapolis which approved the recommendation of the
earlier conventions and began the publication of the Journals. See number 305 for the convention held at Chester in October,
1784.
