Thomas Church Brownell papers, 1817-1869.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/655831145

Wide-ranging correspondence concerning affairs of the Diocese of Connecticut and of the Episcopal Church throughout the world, chiefly with Bishops James Kemp and William Rollinson Whittingham, of Maryland. There is much material on education, particularly affairs of the General Theological Seminary (both the New Haven and in New York City), and of Washington College, later Trinity College, in Hartford, Conn., which Brownell founded, 1824-1837. Private comments and official correspondence concern many bishops, including Levi S. Ives, Philander Chase, Horatio Southgate, Henry C. Lay, Thomas Atkinson, and A. Cleveland Coxe, as well as many other clergymen. Brownell supports the missions to Greece and Turkey, 1846-1850, and writes about relations with the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. Substantial correspondence concerns relations with the Church of England, including communications from the American Bishops to the Church of England regarding encroachments of the civil power on that Church, 1850-1852; discussion of the activities of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in ecclesiastical matters, 1864; and the Tractarian movement. Other papers include Bownell's views on controversies of the High and Low Church parties, theological questions, and Civil War prayers. There are also posthumous comments on his career.
