Profile of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh Nominating Committee Profile of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh Nominating Committee for the IX Bishop of Pittsburgh October 2020 15 October 2020 Dear Friends in Christ, On behalf of the Nominating Committee of the IX Bishop of Pittsburgh, I invite your consideration of our diocesan profile and extend thanks to all those across our diocese whose input through our survey, parish conversations, and leadership and ministry focus groups made this possible. The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh is fertile ground for ministry. We seek a bishop who embraces the challenges facing the Church and our diocese, an articulate, visionary leader, and a faithful pastor to the wide array of congre- gants who comprise our diocese. In some ways this profile was difficult to write, as the sense of the diocese and region is understood through its many dichotomies. While we have large, flourishing urban and suburban parishes, we also have small rural parishes that are struggling by certain measures. We are a region that was built through the influx of immigration and internal migration, but have not fully embraced the immigrants of the 21st century. We have a blue-collar, industrial history, but have thriving arts, technology, education, and healthcare industries. We are one of the nation’s “most livable” metropolitan regions, yet disparities of income, opportunity, and life expectancy are very pronounced among racial groups. We have endured schism, yet we are united by our commitment to remain one holy, catholic and apostolic Church. Our next bishop will flourish in the tensions that these dichotomies create and lead us to realize the potential we have to grow as a vibrant Christian commu- nity, equipped to serve God’s people. Our profile is organized around the questions that our bishop-elect will be asked at ordination and consecration (Book of Common Prayer, pp. 517-518.) They are the questions that will inform our next bishop’s ministry among us every day. They are the questions we have considered as we have researched, listened, dreamed, and prayed for the future of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. We invite responses from all candidates discerning a call to us. Yours in Christ, Michael E.

Welcome to Southwestern Pennsylvania and the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. This is where the Midwest, Appalachia, and the Northeast meet. We are the Allegheny Mountains and the confluence of three rivers, a region of tunnels and bridges. We are a mix of outdoor activities — hiking, biking, boating, sightseeing — in a four-sea- sons climate. We are a big city and many small towns. We are great cultural institutions and a rich blend of ethnic cultures. Those bridges — 446 of them, more than in Venice, Italy — are symbolic of our diocese, as we have indicated in the logo developed by the Nominating Committee for our search for the IX Bishop of Pittsburgh. We have emerged from the traumatic split of 2008 stronger than ever, deeply committed to being together as The Episcopal Church in this part of the world and determined to build bridges among our parishes and with our communities. Our next bishop will be a bridge-builder. Our Origins Natural borders abound in this region and have contributed to the establishment of some 633 different munici- palities (primarily townships and boroughs) within a diocesan area which holds 2.6 million total residents. No- where is this propensity to organize in small groups more prevalent than in the city of Pittsburgh, which has 105 recognized neighborhoods within its municipality. Many of these neighborhoods were formed over the years by immigrant communities who were drawn to the steel mills and associated jobs. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, large numbers of people from Germany, Ireland, Great Britain, Italy, Russia, Poland, and other European nations came to Pittsburgh. Many neighborhoods

  • The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh the Search for the Eighth Bishop Diocesan 2011 Diocesan Profile Welcome!
    The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh The Search for the Eighth Bishop Diocesan 2011 Diocesan Profile Welcome! The Search/Nominating Committee and the people of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh of the Episcopal Church prayerfully offer this profile in hope that persons considering a call to be bishop of our diocese, or persons considering submitting the name of a potential candidate, will learn about us and our values, experiences, hopes, and what we discern to be God’s will. Our last decade has been a decade of challenge. The challenge is not yet over but we are confident that God has a plan and, even now, has identified a person who is fit to lead us in our next chapter of growth and rebuilding. As we spoke with members of the diocese in their parishes, we heard their sense of optimism and hope. As we prayed together as a committee and studied the responses to our surveys, the way forward has become clearer to us and, we hope, to those of you who may discern a call to respond. We hope that this profile gives you a snapshot of our Vibrant Episcopal Communities United in Christ and the wonderful region of the country in which we live and work. The Search/Nominating Committee will receive names from August 15 to September 30, 2011. Instructions for submitting names may be found at the end of this profile. Our recommendations for a slate of nominees will be submitted to the Standing Committee before January 15, 2012. Following the publication of that slate, there will be a three-week period for nomination by petition before the slate is final.

  • Interview with John L
    Interview with John L. Harrison, Jr., Esquire, by Clark Groome, for the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania Oral History Project, North Wales, Pennsylvania, November 14, 2013. CLARK GROOME: All right. You grew up as an Episcopalian? JOHN HARRISON: Yes. CG: And where did you start your life as an Episcopalian? JH: I lived in Bryn Mawr when I was born, and my family went to the Church of the Redeemer, and I was baptized there, probably in 1936, by the then rector, Canon Earp. CG: E-A-R-P? JH: E-A-R-P. CG: Okay. And then, as a kid, were you active in the church? JH: Not really. I would say that my family were people that went to church when there was a family funeral, or a wedding. And I didn’t really become very active, although by the time I was ten or twelve years old my mother thought that my brother and I should go to Sunday school wherever we lived. And typically we would be taken and left and picked up later. CG: Right. And you were confirmed, I assume? JH: I was confirmed in, I think, 1949, at the Church of the Redeemer in Bryn Mawr. Excuse me—at the Church of the Messiah in Gwynedd. Roughly, then—I could get the exact dates, if that’s important. CG: I think maybe you have. I think you may have given them to me. It’s not important. JH: But at that particular point in my growing up, we were living in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, and we went to church, by then, fairly regularly, at the Church of the Messiah in Gwynedd, where my HARRISON 2 parents had been married in 1934.

  • Slavery at Fountain Rock and St. James
    1 Slavery at Fountain Rock and the College of St. James, Maryland: A Report1 by Emilie Amt (© Emilie Amt) January 2021 Names of individuals known to have been enslaved on the Fountain Rock/St. James site are printed in bold in the text. The site that is now the Saint James School campus, about six miles south of Hagerstown, Maryland, was originally inhabited by the native peoples of this region, including, in the eighteenth century, the Shawnee people and members of the Iroquois confederation. In the mid-eighteenth century, European immigrants began to settle in what would later become Washington County, pushing out the remaining natives and bringing with them enslaved Africans. Around 1792, a white couple named Samuel and Maria Ringgold came to the site they called Fountain Rock and established one of the county’s largest plantations there. Slavery at Fountain Rock Fountain Rock became the home of the Ringgold family and the people they enslaved. Samuel and Maria Ringgold almost certainly brought slaves to Fountain Rock from Kent County, Maryland, in the 1790s; slave labor almost certainly helped to build the mansion and other buildings on the new plantation. By 1800, forty people were enslaved at Fountain Rock. In 1810, there were 49 slaves. Ten years later, 64 men, women, and children were enslaved at Fountain 1 There is undoubtedly more to be learned about slavery on the site in both periods. The evidence is fragmentary and the process of writing this history is still in an early stage. 2 Rock, making it one of the largest slaveholdings in western Maryland.2 Because so many people were enslaved at Fountain Rock, it seems the housing for them included (unusually for western Maryland) a large two-story stone building.

  • The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation Written by Dr
    Episcopal Dissidents, African Allies: The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation written by Dr. Miranda K. Hassett [email protected] For the Department of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill May 2004 Please do not cite in print without author’s consent. A revised and shortened version of this text is under contract for publication with Princeton University Press. Reproduced online through http://anglicanhistory.org, January 2006. 1 Abstract In recent years, conservative dissidents within the Episcopal Church in the United States have felt alienated by the Episcopal Church’s liberal policies, especially acceptance of homosexuality. In response, these Episcopal dissidents have increasingly sought and received help and support from Anglican bishops in the global South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America). In this dissertation, the development and dynamics of these transnational Anglican alliances are examined anthropologically, on the basis of ethnographic research with Anglican communities involved in such relationships in Uganda and the United States. These relationships are often explained, by both supporters and critics, through narratives of increased global conflict between liberal Northern Christianity and conservative Southern Christianity (with which conservative Northerners are said to have a natural affinity). This work questions such narratives, first, by presenting the situations, concerns, and motives of the Northern and Southern Anglicans involved and calling into question assumptions

Located in Washington County, Pennsylvania, it is a lasting reminder of Trinity Hall, a largely forgotten Episcopalian boys’ school that operated between 1879 and 1906. Today Trinity Hall tends to be overlooked by scholars studying Philadelphia-born priest educator William Augustus Muhlenberg. Instead, examinations of Muhlenberg’s influence tend to focus on the five New England schools known collectively as St.
