Benjamin Tredwell Onderdonk Papers by Episcopal Church. Diocese of New York. Bishop (1830-1861 : Onderdonk) PDF Summary

Book Description: Most of Onderdonk's correspondence is with William Rollinson Whittingham, his friend and collaborator, both as one of his clergy and later as Bishop of Maryland. Bishop James Kemp is also a correspondent. Many items concern Onderdonk's trial, Whittingham's notes thereon, and efforts to defend and reinstate him, 1845-1859, with reflections of High and Low Church partisanship. But there is also much material concerning the history of the Diocese of New York during the first half of the 19th century when it was the leading diocese of the Episcopal Church, and of the formative years of the General Theological Seminary, together with affairs of the Church throughout the country. Diocesan subjects include affairs of the New York Protestant Episcopal Press, the New York Protestant Episcopal Tract Society, the New York Protestant Episcopal Public School, and church periodicals. Also much material about Whittingham's active years in the Diocese, 1825-1840, as well as his later involvement in its affairs after he became Bishop of Maryland. Other matters concern actions of the conventions of the Diocese of New York, the division of the diocese in 1838, church work among Germans in New York, epidemics in New York City, and a host of clergymen and lay persons. Many operations of the General Theological Seminary are touched upon, including Whittingham's role there and Onderdonk's teaching there after his suspension as bishop in 1845. There are references to Onderdonk's strenuous labors, accounts of his travels and episcopal visitations, and mention of family matters. Among broader subjects in these papers are the business of various General Conventions, reforms needed in the House of Bishops, interdenominational controversies, relations with the Anglican Church of Canada and with the Church of England, organization and work of the Sunday School Union, events in many other dioceses, Liberia, and foreign missions. Other papers concern Onderdonk's death.
