Perry, James DeWolf, Bishop, 1871-1947. Papers, 1835-1947, (bulk 1904-1947).

Title: Papers, 1835-1947, (bulk 1904-1947).

The collection consists of Bishop Perry's personal papers, mainly from the time of his consecration as Bishop of Rhode Island in 1911 until his death in 1947, and especially from his tenure as Presiding Bishop, 1930-1937. Included also is material gathered for inclusion in two abortive biographies that were being prepared after his death. Topics of particluar interest include: Perry's service in World War I as chief of Red Cross chaplains; his attendance at the Lambeth Conferences of 1920 and 1930; his 1933 visit to Episcopal missions in the Far East and his participation in the anniversary celebration of his great-uncle Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry's arrival in Japan in 1853; the addressing of such religious, social and political issues as the Anglo-Catholic unity movement, the Great Depression, and the growing totalitarian threat of the 1930s; and certain controversies that had secular as well as religious implications. Of those controversies the Kent Scandal (1919), involving charges of immorality levied against Samuel Neal Kent, a U.S. Navy chaplain, reached the highest levels of government. Records which document these and other topics include correspondence, sermons, addresses, journals, diaries, daybooks, itineraries, photographs, memorabilia and news clippings. Printed material in the collection includes religious pamphlets and brochures, the Rhode Island Diocesan Journal (1835-1866, scattered; 1911-1946) and the Journal of the Episcopal General Convention (1919-1940, scattered).
