Henshaw, J. P. K. (John Prentiss Kewley), 1792-1852. John Prentiss Kewley Henshaw papers, 1814-1871.

Title: John Prentiss Kewley Henshaw papers, 1814-1871.

These are papers of a leader of the Low Church party, both as parish priest and bishop. Principal correspondents are Bishops James Kemp, William Murray Stone, and William Rollinson Whittingham, of Maryland. Much material concerns St. Peter's Church, Baltimore, and other Baltimore churches, 1817-1843. Subjects include Henshaw's disagreements with Bishop Kemp about extempore prayers, freedom of opinion, and proposals for a theological seminary in Maryland, 1818-1823; views on the Maryland State Colonization Society's plans for Liberia and the work of the Reverend Elie W. Stokes there; and help given to the Reverend William Levington and St. James's First African Church, Baltimore, 1829. Some papers deal with Henshaw's role in the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Maryland, including the trial of the Reverend Timothy Clowes, 1829-1830. Expressions of opposition to the election of William Rollinson Whittingham as Bishop of Maryland and questions concerning his views, 1840, are followed by years of friendly correspondence. Henshaw's publications on Whittingham's controversy with the Reverend Henry Van Dyke Johns, of Baltimore, 1843, are included. Family matters are also mentioned. Later papers concern Henshaw's election as Bishop of Rhode Island, 1843, and affairs of that diocese. He describes the condition of the Episcopal Church in New England. He strongly supports Bishop Horatio Southgate's mission in Turkey, 1849, and frequently discusses relations with the Church of England. Correspondence and parish reports deal with Henshaw's performance of episcopal services for Whittingham in Maryland, 1852, and his death there. There are also a number of tributes to Henshaw and posthumous manuscripts concerning him.

Hopkins, John Henry, 1792-1868. John Henry Hopkins papers, 1824-1873.

Title: John Henry Hopkins papers, 1824-1873.

The papers cover Hopkins's ecclesiastical career, from the consecration of Trinity Church, Pittsburgh, 1824, in his early ministry, to the events of his episcopate. Most of the letters are to Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham, with comments on affairs of the Church in Maryland and Vermont. Hopkins gives his views on episcopacy, education, canon law, ritualism, his writings, and his hopes for revival of Catholicism in the Episcopal Church as opposed to the Roman Catholic Church. He does not approve of Bishop Horatio Southgate's mission to Turkey but supports it in a time of crisis, 1849. Numerous items concern clergy and family matters, business of the General Conventions, and relations with the Church of England, especially the Lambeth Conference of 1867. Substantial materials relate to the Civil War and its aftermath: Hopkins' defense of slavery and troubles because of it, his Civil War prayers, views on drafting clergymen for military service, proposals for a letter of reconciliation to the Southern bishops at the end of the war, and efforts to reunite the Episcopal Churches North and South. There are also comments on his sermons and writings by others, and a copy of his Essay on Gothic Architecture, 1836.
