  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

  • Who Was Bishop Samuel Seabury? by the Rev
    Who was Bishop Samuel Seabury? By The Rev. Jay Cayanyang Eternal God, you blessed your servant Samuel Seabury with the gift of perseverance to renew the Anglican inheritance in North America: Grant that, joined together in unity with our bishops and nourished by your holy Sacraments, we proclaim the Gospel of redemption with apostolic zeal; through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Samuel Seabury was born on November 30, 1729, in North Groton, Connecticut (present day Ledyard and near Gales Ferry where Bishop Seabury Anglican Church is located). His father, also known by the same name, was the local Congregational minister. Shortly after Seabury was born, his father resigned his pastorate to pursue Holy Orders in the Church of England. While his father was away, Seabury’s mother, Abigail died. After ordination, his father returned to minister in New London, Connecticut under the banner of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Later, the elder Seabury remarried and moved to an assignment in Hempstead, Long Island where under his father’s tutelage as young boy, Samuel Seabury and his brother Caleb prepared for college. As such, Samuel Seabury grew up in home a life that was greatly shaped church life and the Book of Common Prayer. Samuel Seabury studied at Yale College and afterwards returned home to Long Island to study medicine and assist his father in a nearby town as a catechist. Eventually, through the encouragement and support of his father, he went on for further study in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Galatians 6:14 Message from Fr Andrew Murphy SSC (Tel.: 07920 596990) Corpus Christi and Petertide My friends in Christ, the beginning and the end of this coming month of June see two important liturgy days, firstly Corpus Christi and the second we call Petertide or Peter’s tide being the Sunday nearest to 29th June which is the festival day of SS Peter and Paul. At Corpus Christi, meaning the body and blood of Christ, we celeb- rate His presence in the Eucharist, normally four days after Pentecost but nowadays sometimes on the following Sunday. The Petertide season in- cludes the days before and around that feast and is special in the Anglican calendar for it is in the days around then that most deacons and priests are ordained into the church. The two feasts are not unconnected, for it is only ordained priests who can celebrate Mass and consecrate the sac- red bread and wine which becomes Christ’s body and blood. When Christ handed Peter the footsteps of St Peter who himself wrestled with fol- keys of Heaven, and declared that he was “the lowing Christ and later endured hardships to be rock” upon which his church was to be built, he faithful to his master.

HOLLIS BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND COMPANY 1901 3 COPYRIGHT, 1900, BY IRA N. HOLLIS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PEEFACE The history of the Frigate Constitution is un- dertaken in order to bring within the pages of one volume all the events which go to make a long and interesting career upon the sea. It is the outgrowth of a short article for the " Atlantic Monthly " to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the vessel's launch. She has so long been a favorite topic for stoiytellers and writers that nothing new remains to be told. It is rather a case for recall- ing much that has been forgotten. As the forma- tion and service of the sailing navy supply the background which brings our ship into stronger perspective, all the circumstances which had an in- fluence upon her design, construction, and employ- ment are given. WhUe, therefore, in no sense a history of the Navy, it forms* a reasonably con- nected narrative of naval events, and particularly of our good old frigate.

  • Rev John Skinner
    ‘My father what? Had a duel? He’s in his seventies! Silly man!’ so might antiquarian, James Byres of Tonley have exclaimed when he was brought word about the unseemly quarrel occasioned by Byres Snr. Patrick Byres was an Irish Jacobite, born in Dublin, 1713. In 1741 he married Janet Moir of Stoneywood and became a Burgess of Guild in Aberdeen, yet his political leanings and hot Celtic temper seem to have constantly landed Patrick in trouble. His first problem was his involvement in the Forty-Five Rebellion, fighting on Bonnie Prince Charlie’s side as Major Byres in Stoneywood’s regiment. Escaping Culloden, Patrick’s ally, Gordon of Cluny hid him in his castle until he and his family escaped to France. He managed to hang on to Tonley by the clever suggestion that his English name was Peter, thus he was not Patrick Byres the rebel. While his youngest sons, William and John developed military careers in the Navy and Royal Engineers respectively and second son, Robert took up merchant interests in Prussia, the eldest, James, became something of a tour guide. He embraced antiquarian studies in Rome and became the go-to ex-pat for visiting Scots gentlefolk on their ‘grand tours’ of Europe. Meanwhile, his father returned to Tonley, Mrs Byres hoping her husband’s adventures were over. But, due to Janet’s nephew, James Abernethy of Mayen, Patrick was to be the centre of unwanted attention once more in 1763. A traditional ballad is dedicated to the incident in which John Leith of Leith Hall, Rhynie was murdered by Abernethy after an argument in the New Inn, Aberdeen.

Over recent years the Diocese, especially through its charges and people, has made progress in working in partnership with others, in its development of being church for the North East and in its approach to specialist and newer forms of both mission and ministry. We believe that this provides a springboard for real developments for Christianity in the North East under the leadership of a new Bishop.
