- Abstract: The Episcopal Church in the Dominican Republic began as a mission for English speaking residents. Responding to a call to minister to U.S. occupational forces and to the British West Indian laborers of Anglican background who worked in the sugar and banana industries, Benjamin Isaac Wilson, a self-taught priest, oversaw the creation of the Church of the Holy Trinity in 1898. The Episcopal Church was slow to expand its mission to include native Dominicans, and worked closely with the military government and foreign businesses for much of its existence.
