Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Protest and Appeal: Of George Washington Doane, Bishop of New Jersey To the Right Reverend William Meade, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Virginia; the Right Reverend Charles P. M´llvaine, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Ohio; and the Right Reverend George Burgess, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Maine. For a long period, more especially for the two years last past, grave and serious charges injuriously affecting the moral character of the Bishop of this Diocese, tending to impair his usefulness and to bring our Church under; reproach, have been rife, and they have continued to increase until they have reached a magnitude and assumed a form which the blind can scarcely fail to see or the deaf to hear. Relieving that the best welfare of the Church requires that the charges should be promptly met, and the Church be relieved of the odium under which she rests, while the same continue to circulate undecided and unrefuted, we had fondly hoped that the individual implicated would have sought the earliest opportunity of relieving his own character from the imputations which are almost daily made against it, and of dissipating the dark cloud of obloquy which, in consequence of these imputations against its ecclesiastical head, now grievously mars the fair character of our Church. We deeply regret that the Bishop did not embrace the opportunity which was offered him by the resolution of enquiry presented to the Convention of the Diocese, at the City of Burlington, in 1840, of meeting and repelling the rumors and charges which were then known to be in current circulation against him. The course then taken served to confirm, rather than diminish, the suspicions, that these charges had foundation in truth. Since then we have waited till two other annual Conventions have passed, at either of which the Bishop has had a full and free opportunity of demanding an investigation of the truth of these charges. But instead of demanding an investigation as every honorable man in society feels bound to do when imputations arc made against his character, we discover a manifest intention to avoid investigation, and to leave these rumors and charges to circulate for another year unchecked, uncleared, and unrefuted.
