Alfred Magill Randolph papers, 1867-1905.

The papers cover the period between Randolph's arrival in Baltimore, Md., to take charge of Emmanuel Church, 1867, and his departure to become Bishop Coadjutor of Virginia in 1883. Substantial material concerns the affairs of Emmanuel Church and other churches in Baltimore, including Cranmer Chapel and Mount Calvary Church and Randolph's relations with Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham and his leading role in attempting to bring the Bishop to trial for not disciplining a clergyman who used a prayer for the dead, 1875. Subjects include the work of Baltimore City missions, the Church Home and Infirmary, Baltimore, and proposals to increase the authority of the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Maryland. There are letters concerning several clergymen and candidates for orders, and a sermon on the duties of a Christian minister, 1873, as well as a sermon, 1905, by the Reverend James H. Eccleston with comments on Randolph's life and work.
