Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Archives of the General Convention, Vol. 1: Edited by Order of the Commission on Archives, 1757-1797 To the Churchmen of Connecticut belongs the honour of being the first to realize the importance of gathering material for the history of the Church in America. In 1804 "The Churchman´s Monthly Magazine" was established under the auspices of the Convocation of the Clergy of the Diocese. The Rev. Dr. William Smith, then principal of the Episcopal Academy at Cheshire, became the first editor. He sought to fill the pages of the magazine with articles giving information upon the doctrines and practices of the Church, upon devotional themes, and the current events in the Church. He also requested that sketches of the various parishes in Connecticut might be compiled and sent for insertion. The first sketch which was printed was upon Fairfield. Subsequently many others appeared, not only of Connecticut churches, but of those in various parts of New England. In the third volume was commenced the publication of "Original Documents" concerning the election and consecration of Dr. Seabury. As many of the documents themselves have now disappeared, their printed form is our only source for treating the history of the period. They were followed by documents concerning the election and consecration of Dr. White and Dr. Provoost, and other papers concerning Bishop Seabury. In the Introduction to the second series, entitled "American Episcopate," the editor says: "To illustrate the history of the Church in this country, and transmit to posterity a knowledge of her early and present state, is part of our design."
