Episcopalian History (cont'd)

The Episcopal Church suffered greatly following the Revolutionary War. Because of its affiliation with the Church of England, locals held the denomination in contempt. As a result, the sect practically disappeared. Trinity church was converted into a meeting house for the Six Principal Baptist Church; St. Paul's was used as a military barracks; St. Michael's was burned down and The King's Church was destroyed.

The next Episcopal Church in Rhode Island was not erected until 1816 (St. Paul's Church in Pawtucket).
