George Washington Doane papers, 1827-1882.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/656573778

This large collection consists of voluminous and intimate correspondence with Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham, together with associated materials about Bishop Doane and tributes to him. There is a wide range of subject matter, from family affairs to worldwide concerns of the Episcopal Church. Topics include Doane's election as Bishop of New Jersey, 1832, and affairs of his Diocese, with references to a host of clergymen and lay persons. There are materials on his difficulties, charges against him, and his trial and exoneration, 1852-1853. Among many interests are the Sunday School Union, religious periodicals and publications of the period, the New York Protestant Episcopal Press, missions, especially Bishop Horatio Southgate's mission to the Ottoman Empire, and the Tractarian movement in England. Much concerns Doane's great interest in education, his founding of St. Mary's Hall, Burlington, N.J., 1837, and Burlington College, 1846; the affairs of Washington College (later renamed Trinity College), Hartford, Conn.; and the General Theological Seminary in New York. Many letters involve Doane's relations with other bishops, including Charles P. McIlvaine, Benjamin T. Onderdonk, Stephen Elliott, John S. Ravenscroft, and James H. Otey. There is frank discussion of Bishop Whittingham's achievements and problems in Maryland. Doane states his views on Nestorian and Moravian episcopacy, relations with the Church of England and the Orthodox Churches, and many matters before the General Convention and the House of Bishops. The letters reflect his wide reading and opinions on theological controversies of the time, especially the conflict between High and Low Churchmen.
