Richard Blake, Evangelicals in the Royal Navy, 1775-1815 , 2008, ISBN: 9781843833598

Quote:
This is the first book to tell an important story: we know a lot about the victories of Nelson's Navy, and we know something of Wilberforce and the early Evangelicals, especially as opponents of the slave trade, but few people realise how much the two overlapped. - N.A.M. Rodgers


A new book on a subject that is part of the social history of the RN.
Gambier (Cochrane's archenemy) was the most known of the "psalm-singers".

Quote:
This is a book which no serious student of naval history can afford to ignore.

I am reading the book but I have some problems with terminology even after googling and wikipedying.

What is the difference between Evangelicals and Methodists?

A subsidiary query: I have seen reference to High-Church about the Anglican Church.
What's that? Does it exists a Low-Church?
