  • 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.

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.
