Thirty years after the Episcopal Church approved the ordination of women, the House of Bishops elected -- and the House of Deputies confirmed -- Nevada Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori as the 26th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. “Katharine is a superb choice,” Bishop Kenneth L. Price Jr. wrote in an e-mail to the diocese just hours after the election. “She is a brilliant individual who is articu- late and faithful with an obvious spiritual dimension. She will make an excellent Presiding Bishop.” Bishops elected Jefferts Schori on the fifth ballot at Read more historic Trinity, Capitol Square, a church founded by about the another Presiding Bishop -- and Ohio's first bishop -- PB-elect Philander Chase.

Despite instructions to receive the news respectfully and quietly, deputies and visitors erupted in cheers and applause at the announcement on Father's Day of Jefferts Schori's election. “I thought she was the best candidate, but I didn't think she had a shot,” said Debby Stokes, a lay deputy from St. Philip's, Columbus. “I was pleased.

  • Politics of Abolition: Salmon P. Chase in Cincinnati by William E
    As early as 1836, Salmon P. Chase joined the battle to abolish slavery. His beliefs propelled him into national politics, although more than two decades passed before the mood of the nation was receptive to the ideals he expressed in his early years in Cincinnati. The Politics of Abolition: Salmon P. Chase in Cincinnati by William E. Baringer n November, i860, Abraham Lincoln had just been elected President. The I first winner of the new Republican party, Lincoln was so little known that the nation felt an overpowering curiosity about what sort of man he was. The New York Herald and other Democratic newspapers made a "contribution" to the public's knowledge by printing a speech allegedly delivered by Lincoln to a Negro audience in Cincinnati in 1845. The speaker claimed that black Ameri- cans were the natural equals of whites, denounced as undemocratic the laws and customs that denied them equality, and received an engraved silver pitcher saluting his services to the race. Among those who read this radical oration was a Democratic legislator from Mississippi, William C. Smedes of Vicksburg. In an angry letter to Henry Jarvis Raymond of New York, Republican national chairman, Smedes declared that the holder of such views should be struck dead by lightning as "a just punishment from an offended diety." Raymond forwarded this missive to Lincoln, who repudiated the speech as "a forgery out and out.... I was never in a meeting of Negroes in my life; and never saw a pitcher presented by anybody to anybody."' The actual speaker and recipient of the pitcher on that occasion was not Lincoln but a Cincinnati attorney named Salmon Portland Chase.

  • 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.
