Excerpt from The Protest and Appeal: Of George Washington Doane, Bishop of New Jersey
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. Believing 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 undenied 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.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
