  • A Primer on the Government of the Episcopal Church and Its Underlying Theology
    A Primer on the government of The Episcopal Church and its underlying theology offered by the Ecclesiology Committee of the House of Bishops Fall 2013 The following is an introduction to how and why The Episcopal Church came to be, beginning in the United States of America, and how it seeks to continue in “the faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). Rooted in the original expansion of the Christian faith, the Church developed a distinctive character in England, and further adapted that way of being Church for a new context in America after the Revolution. The Episcopal Church has long since grown beyond the borders of the United States, with dioceses in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador (Central and Litoral), Haiti, Honduras, Micronesia, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Venezuela and Curacao, and the Virgin Islands, along with a Convocation of churches in six countries in Europe. In all these places, Episcopalians have adapted for their local contexts the special heritage and mission passed down through the centuries in this particular part of the Body of Christ. “Ecclesiology,” the study of the Church in the light of the self-revelation of God in Jesus Christ, is the Church’s thinking and speaking about itself. It involves reflection upon several sources: New Testament images of the Church (of which there are several dozen); the history of the Church in general and that of particular branches within it; various creeds and confessional formulations; the structure of authority; the witness of saints; and the thoughts of theologians. Our understanding of the Church’s identity and purpose invariably intersects with and influences to a large extent how we speak about God, Christ, the Spirit, and ourselves in God’s work of redemption.

  • A Brief History of Saint Mark's Episcopal Church Beaver Dam, WI
    A Brief History of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church Beaver Dam, WI 1855-2005 The Episcopal Church Comes to Wisconsin The origin of the Episcopal Church in Wisconsin is closely associated with two early missionary priests from the East, Father Richard Fish Cadle and Bishop Jackson Kemper. In 1836 Father Cadle, missionary to the Oneida Indians, visited areas of South-Central Wisconsin, including Fort Winnebago (Portage) and other sites, many which produced new mission congregations in the Church. A year earlier Bishop Jackson Kemper was consecrated the first missionary bishop of the Episcopal Church, with jurisdiction in Missouri and Indiana. In 1838 Wisconsin was added to the missionary district and Bishop Kemper and Father Cadle visited countless areas of Wisconsin with a missionary purpose. The Episcopal Board of Domestic Missions recruited and deployed clergy Westward, and assisted spiritually and financially in this endeavor. Likewise, prominent East Coast congregations, clergy and laypersons responded to calls for assistance in planting new congregations and funding initial church buildings in the new West. Three young graduates of General Seminary in New York came to assist Bishop Kemper and Fr. Cadle (James Lloyd Breck, William Adams and John Henry Hobart, Jr.). Bishop Kemper, along with James Lloyd Breck, founded Nashotah House at Delafield, Wisconsin in 1842 as a school and seminary of the Church. Many early Wisconsin clergy were staunch defenders of the Anglo-catholic faith and promoted a combination of ”high church” and an evangelistic spirit in the church in Wisconsin. They also formed several Episcopal monastic orders. In 1869 All Saint’s Cathedral in Milwaukee became the first Episcopal cathedral in the United States, followed in later years by other dioceses of the Episcopal Church.

  • 17. How Did the Episcopal Church Get to Wisconsin?
    17. How Did the Episcopal Church get to Wisconsin? As is the case with most things historical there is not one simple answer to this question, because there were many people who shaped events that lead to the church we see today. So for simplicity’s sake I am going to focus on the lives of six people and the work that they did in Wisconsin. Some of it overlaps. Those six people were all priests or bishops. They are Richard Fish Cadle, Jackson Kemper, James Lloyd Breck, William Adams, John Henry Hobart Jr. and Charles Chapman Grafton. I realize that in this approach much will be missed but hopefully it will give something of the flavor of what happened. Richard Fish Cadle Cadle was born in 1796 in New York. He was educated at Columbia and graduated at the age of 17 in 1813. At that time you had to wait until the age of 21 to be ordained, so he did and began serving St. John’s Church in Salem, New Jersey. On May 20, 1824, the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society appointed its first three domestic missionaries, one of whom was Cadle. He was sent to Detroit where he organized the first Episcopal Church in the area, St. Paul's Church on Nov. 22, 1824. Fortunately things got better for him and he was able to come to the Promised Land (Wisconsin) in 1829. He was made superintendent of an Indian mission school in Green Bay, which focused on the Oneida (many of whom are still Episcopal and worship at Church of the Holy Apostles in Oneida, WI).

  • Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross
    Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross By Lewis Wright He has instituted at Valle Crucis a monastic order . composed of persons bound to him by a vow of celibacy, poverty and obedience. He has given to the members, as their peculiar dress, a black cassock extending from the throat to the ankle. He allows to be placed on the altar a pyx, in which are reserved the remaining consecrated elements after a communion . there is used at Valle Crucis in a little manual of devotions . prayers to the Virgin Mary and the Saints. He has announced to two of his clergy an intention to send a “penitentiary” through the parishes in the Diocese to receive the confessions of the people.1 THESE CRITICISMS of the Rt. Rev. Levi Silliman Ives (1797-1867), bishop of North Carolina, were made in 1849 by George Edmond Badger, a prominent layman, lawyer and United States senator from Raleigh, North Carolina. Several accounts have been written of the life of Bishop Ives, a cradle Presbyterian who converted to the Episcopal Church. Ives served as the second bishop of North Carolina (1831-1852) and spent the last fifteen years of his life as a Roman Catholic layman (1852-1867).2 These accounts have included few details of the Society of the Holy Cross and of the bishop’s beloved mission-monastery outpost in the wilderness of the North Carolina mountains, which he called Valle Crucis Abbey.3 On an evening in late October or early November, 1847, at St.

  • Dear Friend, This Has Been an Incredibly Challenging Time for Our
    Dear Friend, This has been an incredibly challenging time for our nation and the world, and I pray that this finds you and your loved ones well. In March as the Covid 19 pandemic began sweeping through our nation, the search for the 15th Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina was put on pause. We certainly did not imagine then that five months later we would still be in such a difficult place. And it is because we have all come to the realization that we will be living in this way for some time, we have decided to move forward with our search. Our search for candidates will be from throughout the entire Church. The early stages and inter- views of this process will of course be virtual, with the latter ones yet to be determined. Howev- er, our intentions are to conduct a fair and thorough search process that ensures the safety and health of all applicants. While present realities will necessitate a flexible timeline, we will do our best to keep candidates informed during each step of the way. Upon successful completion of this process and discern- ment of the Bishop Search Committee, the candidates for the 15th Bishop will be announced. It is at that time we will schedule the public discernment phase, including the date of the electing convention and the date of the Ordination and Consecration. We anticipate Consecration before the end of 2021. We are excited to be moving forward, and hope for the careful and prayerful consideration of all th who may feel called to serve as the 15 Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina.

Elizabeth Ann Bayley was born in New York on 28 August 1774. She was the second daughter of Doctor Richard Bayley and Catherine Charlton Bayley. She was of French and English ancestry. Her father was born in Fairfield, Connecticut, and her mother in Staten Island, New York. Her religious ancestry was staunchly Protestant. She could claim two of the original Huguenot settlers in New York among her ances- tors and her mother's father was the long-time rector of Saint Andrew's Anglican Church on Staten Island.' Though no baptismal records for Elizabeth have ever been found, we can say with confidence that she was baptized into the Anglican Church as an infant or small child.2 Elizabeth's mother died in 1777, leaving Doctor Bayley with three small girls.

  • John Henry Hobart (1775-1830)
    JOHN HENRY HOBART (1775­1830) 11th Bishop of the Episcopal Church “He was the first bishop to show the American Church how to run a diocese.” (Addison) Hobart was born September 14, 1775. His father was a business man. He attended the newly founded Episcopal Academy in Philadelphia, then spent two years at the University of Pennsylvania. As a Junior he entered Princeton and received his BA in 1793 with high honors. Eventually he became a tutor at Princeton and was highly respected by students and others. Supported by a friendship with Bishop White, and growing in his own interest in the Christian faith, Hobart was ordained deacon by his bishop in 1798. At first he served a small group of churches in Philadelphia, then went to New Brunswick. He married, and in mid 1800 moved to Long Island. Six months later he came to be an assistant at Trinity Church, NY. There he would remain for the rest of his life, as assistant, rector, and bishop.
