Clergyman and Revolutionary Committeeman: Thomas Lundie of St. Andrew's Parish, Brunswick County, Virginia Otto Lohrenz The social position of the clergy of the established Church of England in colonial Virginia has not been settled. Some historians hold that they were full-fledged members of the gentry. Arthur P. Middleton, for example, thinks the ministers were gentlemen who "habitually move[d) in the social circles of the upper class," frequently "married into the most prominent families," and "were remarkably well-to-do."1 Other historians, led by Rhys Isaac, assert that the candidates stemmed from inferior social levels, that as ministers they suffered from a "negative image" and "low status," and that their "lack of rank and influence" made them dependent on the good will of the local gentry which forced tl1em into a degrading client position.2 Both Middleton and Isaac based their judgments on general impressions.

Through his father, William Gray Brooks, he was descended from the Rev. John Cotton; through his mother, Mary Ann Phillips, a very devout woman, he was a great-grandson of Samuel Phillips, Jr., the founder of Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. Four of the couple's six sons -- Phillips, Frederic, Arthur and John Cotton -- were ordained in the Episcopal Church. Phillips Brooks prepared for college at the Boston Latin School and graduated from Harvard University in 1855 at the age of 20, where he was elected to the A.D. Club. After a brief period as a teacher at Boston Latin , he began in 1856 to study for ordination in the Episcopal Church in the Virginia Theological Seminary at Alexandria, Virginia.

This account will rather summarize the principal facts already es­ tablished and present such additional new material as may have come to our attention. Our purpose has been to compress the story of the old churches into a brief account, which average readers may not find too bulky or too detailed for their enjoyment. If we are successful in this purpose, we shall be happy to have enlarged slightly the acquaintance of our readers with local history; for local history is closely identified with the story of the rise of religious bodies and the building of houses of worship. The scope of this effort will also be limited almost exclusively to a record of the physical properties of the various churches, and will deal only very briefly with the origin of the congregations which preceded the acquisition of such properties. This limitation is im­ posed by necessity in most cases because the records of the informal associations prior to the actual erection of buildings are practically non-existent This study will also be confined to those churches which had been clearly identified in Winchester prior to 1825, and will not consider, therefore, the many flourishing institutions of religion which have taken root here since that time Acknowledgement should be made of the vital assistance pro­ vided for this study in the works of Dr.

  • Literature Review
    Badertscher, The Measure of a Bishop Literature Review The more I have researched the “Continuing Church,” the more I have realized that this thesis is charting largely unmarked territory. First-hand information on the movement is available in relatively great abundance from the various denominations themselves, but is often of uneven quality, and truly scholarly material is rare. In some cases, churches have put all their pamphlets, brochures, etc., onto their World Wide Web sites, but have not provided references such as author’s name and date of publication. Sadly, too, the electronic nature of the “Web” means that data found there is ephemeral; what is here today may be gone tomorrow, without a clue as to where to trace it. The relative emphasis given herein to certain denominations, such as the Anglican Orthodox Church, is due not merely to their importance to traditionalist Anglicanism, but because their diocesan offices have cooperated fully with my research. Newsletters, books from their denominational presses, brochures—all these they provided promptly and cheerfully. Some of the other traditionalist groups, however, never responded to my correspondence, even after a second attempt. It is unclear whether this was because they feared editorial bias, or simply that they lack regular secretarial assistance. Another major primary source is the pages of The Christian Challenge, a monthly periodical published since 1962 and devoted to chronicling Anglicanism around the world. Although it covers news both inside and outside the official Anglican Communion, the magazine’s editorial stance is very sympathetic to the traditionalists (a former editor, the late Louis E.

" It is wise for us to recur to the history of our ancestors. Those who are regardless of their ancestors, and of their pos- terity, who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future in the transmission of life from their ancestors to their posterity, do not perform their duty to the world. To be faithful to ourselves we must keep our ancestors and posterity within reach and grasp of our thoughts and affec- tions. Living in the memory and retrospect of the past, and hoping with affection and care for those who are to come after us, we are true to ourselves only when we act with becoming pride for the blood we inherit, and which we are to transmit to those who shall fill our places."

  • Chapter 3 the Biblical Witness to the Office of Bishop, and to the Work of God in General
    Badertscher, The Measure of a Bishop Chapter 3 The Biblical Witness to the Office of Bishop, and to the Work of God in General Whenever trying to understand what the Lord Jesus intended for his Church, it is always best to go back to the words of Scripture; and the Bible has much to say not only about episcopacy, but about God’s general patterns of working His will in the world. Much has been said and written about “Apostolic Succession of Bishops” as an unbroken chain of episcopally-governed ordinations from the times of Jesus and the Apostles, to the present day. But what did Jesus himself say on the subject? Too often, the wrangles over the Scriptural basis of ecclesiology miss the context within which the Lord and his Apostles set forth their teachings on the subject. The very Jewish component of the Gospels often seems to be forgotten. Although Anglo-Catholicism makes much of the Jews’ sacramental rituals, when discussing the Eucharist, it seems to make little of the fact that Christian church order grew out of the synagogue structure. In fact, one of the points that is most forgotten is that the English word “priest” does not derive from [nhk], the Hebrew word for the persons who offered sacrifices in God’s tabernacle or temple. Nor does it derive from the Greek word ‘iereuV, the Greek word for the one who makes religious sacrifices. Rather, the English term derives from presbuteroV, the Greek word for “elder,” or “aged man.” The elders in the synagogue were by no means Aaronic priests or Levites; rather, they were the older men of each Jewish community who ran the Sabbath services at the synagogue, and administered the business of the congregation.
