Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a powerful and personal account of a conflict within the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States in the mid-nineteenth century. The author, a Bishop of New Jersey, details a public accusation levied against him by four laymen from his diocese and the subsequent attempts by three other Bishops to intervene and force a canonical trial. The Bishop's account is a passionate defense of his own integrity and a staunch assertion of the rights of individual Bishops within their dioceses. He accuses the other Bishops of overstepping their bounds and acting in an unchristian and unethical manner. The book provides fascinating insight into the complex power dynamics within the early American Episcopal Church, and reveals how the institution was grappling with issues of individual autonomy and the role of secular influence in religious affairs. Through the author's compelling narrative, the reader gains a clear understanding of the political and personal tensions that were at play in this historical episode, as well as the challenges of maintaining unity and order in a church striving to establish itself in a new nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
