Terry has been a gifted and imaginative leader of our faculty, and an excellent steward of our academic programs.

Bexley Seabury’s consolidation to our well-appointed, environmentally responsible campus at Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS) has been fully realized.

  • 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.

    4/28/92 WORTHINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY 62 805 Hartford Street Worthington, OH 43085 HISTORIES OF STRUCTURES in WORTHINGTON AND SHARON TOWNSHIP by ROBERT W. McCORMICK Worthington, Ohio March 1992 WORTHINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ---page break--- WorthingtonMemory.org page 2 of 476 PREFACE Every structure has a history, but very old structures are not necessarily historically significant. They may simply be old, Determining which structures to preserve and which to demolish involves making judgments about which are historically significant and which are not. Arriving at these judgments often involves a public forum in which both factual and emotional inputs are obtained. Presented herein is factual material related to the historical background of Worthington and Sharon Township structures. The fact that a structure is included in this compilation does not imply that the structure should be preserved at all costs. While the author of this publication admits he is basically a preservationist, he is most concerned that decisions about preservation or demolition of structures should be based upon the best available evidence. Citizens rightfully expect public officials to explain their reasons for deciding to preserve or demolish "old" buildings. This document deals primarily with the historical background of structures. While the architectural significance of a structure is certainly an important consideration, this publication does not speak to that dimension. Primary sources of data have been utilized in the development of this publication. Deed records, mortgage records, tax records, plat maps, census data, village and city council minutes, village and county directories, manuscript collections, and contemporary newspaper accounts have been utilized. Some published histories have been utilized to describe the family backgrounds and activities of some of the owners and occupants of these structures.

  • The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853
    The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853 By the Reverend Robert Semple Bosher, Ph.D. Evanston, Illinois: Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, 1962 I In John Dryden’s poem The Hind and the Panther, there is a passage that ridicules the Church of England for her friendless isolation in Christendom: “Thus, like a creature of a double kind, In her own labyrinth she lives confined; To foreign lands no sound of her is come, Humbly content to be despised at home.” But a century and a half later, we find John Henry Newman quoting those same lines, and asserting: “That day of rebuke is passed. That which is fruitful lives; the English Church, the desolate one, has children . This is our own special rejoicing in our American relations; we see our own faces reflected back to us in them, and we know that we live. We have proof that the Church, of which we are, is not the mere creation of the State, but has an independent life, with a kind of her own, and fruit after her own kind. Men do not gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles; the stream does not rise higher than the spring; if her daughter can be, though the State does not protect, the mother too could bear to be deserted by it ... The American Church is our pride as well as our consolation.”1 The special role of the American Church in the evolution of modern Anglicanism has not been fully recognized, largely because the history of the Anglican Communion has not yet been written.
