Collection consists of the papers of William Norman Guthrie, an Episcopalian clergyman who was rector of St. Mark's Church in-the-Bouwerie in New York from 1911-1937. Guthrie was particularly well-known for the many experimental liturgies he created for use at St. Mark's, which drew upon Hindu, Buddhist, Baha'i, and other religious traditions, as well as his creative use of light, music and dance. Guthrie also sponsored a lecture series which brought many well-known writers, actors, and artists to St. Mark's. The collection includes correspondence with a number of well-known people, including architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
