Synopsis

This book presents an exploration of a famed and fascinating ecclesiastical trial of Dr. Algernon Sidney Crapsey, a rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Rochester, NY, who was accused of heresy for the teachings and ideas put forth in his 1905 publication "Religion and Politics." The legal proceedings that followed his presentment are set in the context of the historical development of church doctrine, as well as an engaging examination of the nature of discipline within a major branch of Christianity. The author's insights into the relationship between faith, orthodoxy, and freedom of thought provide poignant considerations for any examination of religious belief and practice, and are sure to prove invaluable to scholars and general readers alike.
