Alexander Viets Griswold papers, 1811-1862.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/657703700

Papers relating to Bishop Griswold pertain to affairs of the Eastern Diocese, which comprised all of New England except Connecticut; Griswold's duties as Presiding Bishop; and concerns of the Episcopal Church in general. Principal correspondents are Bishops James Kemp and William Rollinson Whittingham. Substantial holdings concern opposition to the consecration of Kemp as Suffragan Bishop of Maryland, 1814, and affairs of the Church there, as well as a copy of Griswold's sermon at the consecration of Whittingham in Baltimore, 1840. Among numerous subjects are a controversy over the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, 1821; views on the writings of Richard Mant, Bishop of Killaloe, in Ireland; differences with Bishop John H. Hobart, of New York; and relations with other bishops. Broader concerns are Griswold's correspondence with the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1840, regarding the need for greater unity among Churches of the Anglican Communion and relations with other denominations. He receives a Nestorian bishop in communion, despite protests by bishops of the Episcopal Church in Scotland, 1842. He supports the mission to Turkey and commends emissaries of the Episcopal Church to the Patriarch of Constantinople, There are also many letters about Griswold and many documents concerning clergy matters, the election and consecration of bishops, and other official business.
