I argue that clergymen adapted to the scientific and cultural developments of the post-Darwin era by encouraging a separation of bodily healing and spiritual healing that was unprecedented in Christianity. In 1840, ministers wielded much more authority than physicians, who still practiced a heroic medicine whose foundations predated Christ. Ministers insisted that doctors' value lay in their willingness to be proselytizing Christians. The doctor who wanted to reach the upper echelon of his profession had to save the souls of the wayward and dying whom the Protestant minister could not reach. Technical skill meant little. By the end of the century, germ theory and the rise of the field of public health meant that the physician could save lives as never before. Conversely, the Protestant clergyman's moral authority decayed as Darwin -and the myriad geologists and biblical historians who attacked notions of an inerrant Biblical account - made atheism viable for the first time in Western history. As medicine surpassed the ministry - and every other profession - to take the lead in the late 1800s, clergymen adopted a new tack. Eager to establish themselves as specialists in spiritual healing - in an age when specialization dominated the professions - clergymen stopped demanding that physicians save both bodies and souls. The clergyman's new ideal doctor was one who stayed abreast of scientific developments and served as a "mediator of science" - spreading the healing gospel of public health to the unwashed masses.

I argue that clergymen adapted to the scientific and cultural developments of the post-Darwin era by encouraging a separation of bodily healing and spiritual healing that was unprecedented in Christianity. In the 1840s and 50s, clergymen emphasized their authority over physicians in lengthy sermons to churches full of doctors. Ministers regularly claimed that the most important duty the physician could perform was the healing of his patients' souls. The doctor's bodily healing meant little if it was not combined with a willingness to save the souls of the wayward and the dying. Clerical calls for doctors to serve as amateur clergymen withered in the face of the medical profession's late-nineteenth century rise. Faced with considerable challenges to their own authority just as medicine entered its modern era, Protestant clergymen assured their continuing relevance by drawing clear distinctions between their healing and doctors' healing. Calls for the physician to serve as "mediator of science" - the man who preached the saving message of sanitation to the unwashed masses- replaced calls to save souls. Not only did the doctor no longer need to save souls, he did not have to be a Christian, or even a theist, in order to live up to the highest duties of his calling. In an age that saw the birth of specialization in the rising medical profession, clergymen staked their claim as specialists in spiritual healing and shrewdly deemphasized the need for physicians to dabble in spiritual healing. No medical breakthrough could extend life eternally. Many still believed the clergyman could. Though my primary reason for limiting the study to the latter six decades of the nineteenth century is the considerable shift in the fortunes of the physician and minister during 2 this period, the nature of the available sources also played a role. I use sermons and clerical commencement addresses to physicians as the main evidence in this study. Though a few were published before 1840, the 1840s were the first decade when ministerial addresses to physicians were regularly published in newspapers, professional journals, or as pamphlets. Doctors, ministers, and newspapermen published addresses for the rest of the nineteenth century. Though extant addresses from the middle of the century are more abundant than those from the 1880s and 90s, the extant evidence from the latter part of the century is abundant enough to illustrate how ministerial use of medicine changed over the course of the century. Clergymen occasionally mentioned medical matters in correspondence and journals, but they spoke about medicine most extensively when addressing doctors through sermons and commencement addresses. This is the story of how that message changed over the course of the century. The men in the study spoke to doctors in cities in Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts. Northeastern cities were home to the leading American medical schools. Advances in medical science that allowed doctors to heal people of disease was a major reason for ministers' changing expectations of doctors. The people of the urban Northeast -with its high concentration of medical schools and university trained, regular physicians - were the first to benefit from medical advances that eventually trickled southward and westward, where "country doctors" were replaced by university-trained professionals. The men who were invited to address doctors late in the nineteenth century were typically liberal Protestants - men who accepted the arguments of the new critical Biblical scholarship. Just as the medical advances first seen in the Northeast eventually spread throughout the country, so too did an increased acceptance of the notion that Christ may not have performed

First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

  • The History Christ Church
    The History Of Christ Church Pottstown, Pa. Compiled by MORISON BLAKE, USNR-RET. + 1964 1846 1964 FOREWORD In compiling the history of a church many sources must be sought out and consulted. The newspaper clippings collected over a long period of time by the late Frederick W. Ancona have been of inestimable help. The History of Christ Church written and privately printed by the late William Herbert Price has suggested many areas to explore in even more detail then he was able to do at the time of his writing. Our parent church, St. Gabriel’s of Douglassville, published recently, a monograph of its history and through the courtesy of the Rector, Reverend Lloyd L. Wolf, a copy was given to Christ Church to aid in obtaining the background of our heritage. The Pottstown Mercury has been most generous in permitting incorporation of items appearing in its pages concerning Christ Church, which are of value in the history of a church. Too much cannot be said for the assistance of the staff of the Pottstown Public Library in making available sources of collateral Pottstown history which fitted the community activities of Christ Church.
