    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: REv. JOHN C. BOWMER, M.A., B.D., Ph.D. Volume xxxvm August 1971 THE "TUCK NET" CONTROVERSY OF 1824 [The writer wishes to acknowledge the help given by the Baptist Union and the Baptists of Penzance in the compilation of this article.] OMPARATIVELY little has been written of the relationship of Methodism to Dissent in the early nineteenth century. CWhilst Dissent shared the renewal of the Evangelical Revival, there was much odium theologicum from the Calvinist-Arminian dispute; the Dissenting historians David Bogue and lames Bennett charged Wesleyan Methodism in 1812 with error, scriptural ignor­ ance, and enthusiasm. The tendency of Wesleyanism to regard itself as midway between Church and Dissent was an irritation; Dissenters much preferred the attitude of the various non- Wesleyan Methodist bodies. The general touchiness of contemporary Protest­ antism further prevented mutual understanding. Local conditions doubtless varied widely, but most of these factors emerged in a dispute between the Wesleyans and the Baptists of Penzance in 1824. This" Tuck Net" controversy-so called from the title of one of the pamphlets written by the Baptist minister, G. C. Smith-was far removed in spirit from the great Free Church alliance with which the century was to end. This rather squalid dispute sheds light upon the ecclesiastical life of the neighbourhood, and shows a Baptist interest in certain Wesleyan Methodist internal problems in the second decade of the nineteenth century. Wesleyan Methodism in Penzance was very strong. The Pen­ zance circuit in 1824 returned 2,110 members, of whom about 430 came from Penzance, and 118 from Newlyn.

  • Founding of the Episcopal Church, Title Page
    Founding of the Episcopal Church A Series of Six Articles Plus an Epilogue In the Newsletter of All Souls’ Episcopal Church, Stony Brook, NY 2007-08 Tony Knapp The text of each article is in the public domain. All rights to the illustrations are retained by the owners, who are listed in the references. Founding of the Episcopal Church, Part I Note from the Editor This is the first in a series of six articles containing some background information about the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion that affects Episcopalians in the United States today. The topic is the founding of the Episcopal Church, and the time period of the story is the 1770s and the 1780s. The Revolutionary War forced at least a partial cut in ties of the Church of England in the United States with that in England. The process of thereafter creating a unified Episcopal Church in the new country involved surprisingly great differences in values, differences that at times must have seemed unbridgeable. It might be tempting to think that the formation of the church government ran parallel to the formation of the civil government, but it did not. The issues were completely different. In church organization some people wanted top-down management as in Great Britain, while others wanted bottom-up management as in the theory behind the new United States. Some wanted high-church ritual, while others wanted low-church ritual. Some wanted maximum flexibility in the liturgy, while others wanted minimum flexibility. The six articles describe the process of reconciling these values.

  • Cathedral Building in America: a Missionary Cathedral in Utah by the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D
    Cathedral Building in America: A Missionary Cathedral in Utah By the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D. I “THERE IS NO fixed type yet of the American cathedral.”1 Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle’s comment in 1906 remains true today as an assessment of the progress of the cathedral movement in the Episcopal Church. In organization, mission, and architecture, American cathedrals represent a kaleidoscope of styles quite unlike the settled cathedral system which is found in England. It may fairly be said that, in the development of the Episcopal Church, cathedrals were an afterthought. The first cathedrals appear on the scene in the early 1860s, more than two hundred fifty years after Anglicans established their first parish on American soil. So far removed from the experience of English cathedral life, it is remarkable that cathedrals emerged at all—unless it might be suggested that by the very nature of episcopacy, cathedrals are integral to it. “I think no Episcopate complete that has not a center, the cathedral, as well as a circumference, the Diocese.”2 The year was 1869. William Croswell Doane, first Bishop of Albany, New York, was setting forth his vision for his Diocese. Just two years earlier, Bishop Tuttle had set out from his parish in Morris, New York, (which, coincidentally, was in that section of New York State which became part of the new Diocese of Albany in 1868) to begin his work as Missionary Bishop of Montana with Idaho and Utah. In 1869, Bishop Tuttle established his permanent home in Salt Lake City, and within two years, quite without any conscious purpose or design on his part, he had a cathedral.

  • A Primer on the Government of the Episcopal Church and Its Underlying Theology
    A Primer on the government of The Episcopal Church and its underlying theology offered by the Ecclesiology Committee of the House of Bishops Fall 2013 The following is an introduction to how and why The Episcopal Church came to be, beginning in the United States of America, and how it seeks to continue in “the faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). Rooted in the original expansion of the Christian faith, the Church developed a distinctive character in England, and further adapted that way of being Church for a new context in America after the Revolution. The Episcopal Church has long since grown beyond the borders of the United States, with dioceses in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador (Central and Litoral), Haiti, Honduras, Micronesia, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Venezuela and Curacao, and the Virgin Islands, along with a Convocation of churches in six countries in Europe. In all these places, Episcopalians have adapted for their local contexts the special heritage and mission passed down through the centuries in this particular part of the Body of Christ. “Ecclesiology,” the study of the Church in the light of the self-revelation of God in Jesus Christ, is the Church’s thinking and speaking about itself. It involves reflection upon several sources: New Testament images of the Church (of which there are several dozen); the history of the Church in general and that of particular branches within it; various creeds and confessional formulations; the structure of authority; the witness of saints; and the thoughts of theologians. Our understanding of the Church’s identity and purpose invariably intersects with and influences to a large extent how we speak about God, Christ, the Spirit, and ourselves in God’s work of redemption.

  • 1 the Beginnings
    1 The Beginnings Here there bee not many people. —RoseRT JUST The geographical area of the original Diocese of New York was the entire state. It was not until 1838, and then only after profound misgiv- ings, that the laws of the Episcopal Church were altered to permit the subdivision of dioceses within the state. Thus, the Diocese of New York was all that territory from Long Island's wave-washed tip to Niagara's steady roar. Within this vast space lay the Adirondack Mountains, whose forests sloped northward to the St. Lawrence plains. Further west were the high fields surrounding the Finger Lakes, where the curved horizon makes a man know that he truly inhabits a spherical earth. Below these lakes is the Southern Tier, lonely and grim-gray In winter, benign and balmy in summer. The state diocese knew all the moods and variations of nature. No citizen of the new nation would know them better than Hobart and Onderdonk, the much-traveled third and fourth bishops of the Diocese of New York. Their predecessors, Samuel Provoost and Benjamin Moore, never saw the broad varieties of New York. They were town men, born and bred in Manhattan. It is one of the ironies of history that these men, the first bishops of the diocese, conceived their diocese more nearly as we do today: a jurisdiction flowing from the City of New York, dependent upon the metropolis, yet offering it the gifts and produce a city always requires from its rural surroundings. The men and women who perceived the early fortunes of the Dio- cese of New York may have seen the state as a builder's square.

  • 1862 Rev. David Louis Schwartz, AM, Son of David and Lydia
    pg. 53-54 [class of] 1862 Rev. David Louis Schwartz, A.M., son of David and Lydia (Spangler) Schwartz, was born in Adams county, Pa., near Hanover, October 10, 1837. He prepared for college in a select school at Littlestown, Pa., and in the Preparatory Department of Franklin and Marshall, entering college as a Freshman in 1858. He was a member of the Diagnothian Literary Society and a charter member of the Eta Chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. After graduation he studied theology for a year at Mercersburg, Pa., and then for three months served as assistant steward at Trinity Hospital, Georgetown, D.C. In the fall of 1863, he entered the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in New York city, from which he was graduated in June, 1866. He was ordained deacon in the Church of the Annun- ciation by Bishop Horatio Potter of New York, July 1, 1866, and was advanced to the priesthood on March 17, 1867, when he became assistant minister to the Rev. R.S. Howland, D.D., rector of the Church of the Holy Apostles, in New York city, where he spent the first ten months of his ministry. On June 16, 1867, he was called to Grace church, at Cherry Valley, Otsego county, N.Y., where he spent five years and a half. He resigned this parish October 1, 1872, and sailed for Europe on October 12, where he spent nearly two years in travel. On his return to America he became rector of Grace Church, Albany, N.Y., September 1, 1874, where he was engaged in active church work until September 1, 1890.

  • 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.
