The history of the Diocese of Pennsylvania is in many ways a history of the Episcopal Church at large. It remains one of the largest and most influential dioceses in the national church. Its story has paralleled and illustrated the challenges and accomplishments of the wider denomination—and of issues that concern the American people as a whole. In This Far by Faith, ten professional historians provide the first complete history of the Diocese of Pennsylvania. It will become essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the history and significance of the Episcopal Church and of its evolution in the Greater Philadelphia area. Aside from the editor, the contributors are Charles Cashdollar, Marie Conn, William W. Cutler III, Deborah Mathias Gough, Ann Greene, Sheldon Hackney, Emma J. Lapsansky-Werner, William Pencak, and Thomas F. Rzeznik.
Excerpt from Education Through the Agency of Religious Organizations The Protestant Episcopal church in the United States was organized in 1785 as a logical result of the separation of the colonies from the mother country. Avowing its indebtedness to the Church of England, it embodied a formal declaration in the preface to its Prayer Book of an intention not to depart from the faith of that church in any essential point of discipline or worship, or further than local circumstances required. The first Protestant Episcopal theological seminary was opened in 1820, after the subject had been discussed for six years, and was constituted in 1821 the General Theological seminary of the church, to be under its control, with the distinct understanding that the action was to be no hin drance to any state or diocese establishing a seminary of its own. The privilege has been freely exercised by the dioceses, and there are now sixteen theological seminaries in different parts of the church. Twelve collegiate and I 16 academical institutions, under diocesan or local control, were reported to the general convention in 1901. The report of the United States commissioner of education for 1900 - 01 gives the Episcopalians 664 teachers and students in 88 secondary schools.
