The Historical Society of the Episcopal Church is pleased to announce the awarding of the 2025 Robert W. Prichard Prize to Dr. Jacob Chatterjee, Faculty of History at the University of Oxford. The prize honors the best Ph.D., Th.D., or D.Phil. dissertation on the history of the Episcopal Church—including its roots in the 17th- and 18th-century British colonies that became the United States—as well as the Anglican Church within the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Dr. Chatterjee’s dissertation, “The Idea of Happiness in Anglican Religious Culture, 1625–1751,” was submitted in partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Philosophy in History at Balliol College, University of Oxford. The work explores a major cultural transformation within the Church of England during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, arguing that between 1642 and 1751, there was a profound shift in the prevailing conception of happiness and the highest good within Anglican religious life.

The Prichard Prize is awarded every three years and named in honor of the Rev. Dr. Robert W. Prichard, a former HSEC board member and president, and a respected historian and author in the field. Applications are reviewed by a selection committee, with the final award determined by the HSEC Board of Directors. The committee welcomes dissertations that explore Episcopal and Anglican history in conversation with broader themes in church or secular history, provided the Anglican or Episcopal aspect remains central to the work.

For over a century, the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church has promoted the preservation, research, and dissemination of Episcopal and Anglican history. Founded in Philadelphia in 1910 as the Church Historical Society, its membership includes scholars, educators, clergy, laity, and anyone who shares interest in the church’s historical legacy.

The Historical Society of the Episcopal Church is pleased to announce the Rev. Paula D. Nesbitt as the recipient of the 2025 Nelson R. Burr Prize. Nesbitt is a priest of the Episcopal Diocese of California and Visiting Professor of Sociology of Religion at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.

The award honors her article, “Feminization of the Priesthood at Fifty—and the Journey Ahead,” published in the June 2024 issue of Anglican and Episcopal History (Vol. 93, No. 2). The Society’s Publications Committee selected the article for its well-reasoned narrative, engaging thesis, and its exemplary demonstration of historical scholarship and analysis.

Nesbitt’s article skillfully explores the breadth of transformation in the Episcopal Church since the mid-1970s, particularly relating to sexuality, gender, and the evolving role of women in ordained ministry. The Committee praised the article as a compelling and thought-provoking contribution to understanding a pivotal half-century in Episcopal history.

The Burr Prize is named in honor of Nelson R. Burr, a distinguished historian whose seminal work, A Critical Bibliography of Religion in America (1961), remains a cornerstone in the field of religious historiography. The prize is awarded annually to the author of the most outstanding article published in Anglican and Episcopal History, the Society’s quarterly peer-reviewed journal. The award recognizes scholarly excellence and innovation in the study of Anglican and Episcopal history.

Articles receiving the Burr Prize, including Nesbitt’s, may be accessed at hsec.us/Nelson-Burr-Prize. Printed copies are also available by contacting Matthew P. Payne, Director of Operations of the Society, at mpayne@hsec.us or (920) 383-1910.

The summer issue of Anglican and Episcopal History features two engaged history articles and a range of exhibit, church, and book reviews helpful to scholars of church history. Reviews of current scholarship include:

Engaged History

Jennifer Woodruff Tait reflects on the 1,700^th anniversary of the Nicene Creed, its meaning and ways it connects us to Christians across the generations. Tait is senior editor of Christian History magazine and priest in the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington.

Then, a team of historians trace the ministry, challenges, and transformations of rural St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, a former church in the hamlet of Redbank in a remote northern area of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. The article by Colin J. Wood, Christian Mumpower, and Jacob Battle represents work by the Redbank Valley Historical Research Project at Liberty University.

Church Reviews

Church reviews provide readers a glimpse of divine services throughout the Anglican Communion, especially within the Episcopal Church.

In this issue, Joel W. West reflects on an “old-school worship” service on the First Sunday of Lent at Christ Church North Adelaide, part of the Diocese of Adelaide in the Anglican Church of Australia (ACA). West gives readers context for the evolution of Anglicanism in Australia and ways the Diocese of Adelaide and its Province of South Australia became the most Anglo-Catholic part of the ACA.

Church review editor J. Barrington Bates then takes readers to a summer Sunday service at Grace Episcopal Church in Holland, Michigan, part of the Episcopal Diocese of the Great Lakes.

Exhibit Review

Nancy Saultz Radloff explores the online exhibition “For the Expansion of the Kingdom” published online by the Archives of the Episcopal Church.

The exhibit explores women’s contributions to the Episcopal Church. Saultz Radloff calls the exhibit “an excellent resource” that isn’t just a history of the church but “it’s also a social history of America.”

Online exhibits from the Archives of the Episcopal Church are accessible at: https://exhibits.episcopalarchives.org/

Anglican and Episcopal History is published quarterly in March, June, September, and December. Full text articles are available through JSTOR.org and for members of the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church at hsec.us/AEH.

The summer issue of AEH publishes 5 of the 18 papers presented during the Apostolic Ministry Conference. The conference was held at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University in October 2023.

Conference attendees used language of the 1886 Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral to explore ways “the Historic Episcopate, locally adapted in the methods of its administration to the varying needs of the nations and peoples” is functioning in a modern world of overlapping ecclesiastical jurisdictions. The conference was the brainchild of Berkley Divinity School student Matthew F. Reese and Christopher Adams of Fordham University.

In this issue of AEH, Reese introduces the collection of papers. He writes, “In all these articles, we see that the exercise of the apostolic ministry and its practical, theological, and sacramental implications are hardly abstract concerns. Questions of apostolicity are not simply mediated within ecumenical working groups– they are played out in the missional, pastoral, and liturgical work of Christian communities. We also see the messiness and malleability of denominational lines.”

The published papers include:

“Having the Lord’s Body to Give: John Keble, Eucharistic Warrant, and the Colonizing Logics of Property” by Ed Watson, a PhD candidate at Yale University. Watson also offers a brief tribute of gratitude to the late Robert Willis (1947-2024), the Dean of Canterbury from 2000-2022, for influencing his work.

Caleb Lindgren questions whether the Reformed tradition should embrace the episcopacy as a way to bring order to the church. He considers the work of Scottish Reformed theologian John Geddes MacGregor (1909-1998) in advocating for a reformed episcopate.

Lindgren is a doctoral candidate in systemic theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. His article is “Bishop’s Gambit: Reformed Ecclesiology and the Possibility of a Reformed Episcopate,”

The next study considers events in South Asia.

“Contextualizing Apostolic Tradition and Denominational Affinities: the Tryst of Saint Thomas Christians of Southern India with Multiple Christian Traditions” explores complexities of apostolic authority and interactions of Christian denominations.

Sinu Rose finds that “The churches of Thomas Christians that once stood as material expressions of their Christian faith and Indian identity until the sixteenth century have now become sites of conflict, venues for displaying the splendor of their denomination, or spaces for expressing ecclesiastical allegiance. The Thomas Christian community, with its roots tracing back to the apostolic era, presents a compelling case for the need to reevaluate the perceptions surrounding their exclusive claims to apostolic origin and the implications of their superior caste consciousness.”

Rose is a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of History, University of Kentucky. Her focus is ways historical processes have changed the religious landscape of South Asia.

Greta Gaffin turns readers’ attention to movements within the United States in an article titled “Black Nationalist Anglicanism: George Alexander McGuire and the African Orthodox Church.”

This study recounts the life and ministry of black Episcopal priest George Alexander McGuire (1866-1934) and his attempt to create the African Orthodox Church as an Episcopalian version of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She examines the denomination’s initial successes then considers reasons it did not become a long-term player in the African American religious landscape. In line with the volume’s theme, important factors relate to legitimacy and apostolic succession.

Gaffin is a master’s student at Boston University. Her research focuses on clergy at the margins of their traditions.

The final study is “Apostolicity and Ecumenicity in Ministry: Lessons from the United Liturgy for East Africa (ULEA)” by E. Okelloh Ogera.

Ogera argues that the ULEA was a significant step toward ecumenicity among Anglicans, Lutherans, Moravians, Methodists, and Presbyterians during the 1960s. However, it was undermined by differing understanding of apostolicity from the participating churches.

Ogera is an ordained priest and head of the Bishop Okullu School of Theology at Great Lakes University in Kisumu, Kenya.

These studies along with exhibit and book reviews are available in the latest issue of AEH. Anglican & Episcopal History is the peer-reviewed journal of the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church. It is published quarterly.

Many Episcopalians associate the name Richard Hooker with via media and Anglicanism’s three-legged stool of scripture, reason, and tradition.

In the spring issue of Anglican and Episcopal History (AEH), multiple historians challenge accepted narratives and offer new analysis of sixteenth-century priest Richard Hooker’s writings, life, and legacy.

In the lead study, Rudolph P. Almasy argues Hooker’s landmark Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity was not exclusively aimed at Presbyterian critics of the time as is often assumed. Instead, Almasy’s closer examination of Polity argues that Hooker “was aware of and sensitive to the polyvocal religious scene in London as he began to draft the Polity.” And, that knowing this, Hooker “sought to have his work speak to the largest audience possible as he explained the positions and practices of the established church.”

The study is titled “Richard Hooker’s Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity and the Late Elizabethan Polyvocal Religious Scene.” Almasy is emeritus professor and dean emeritus at West Virginia University.

Then in “The Destruction of Richard Hooker’s Manuscripts, Revisited” Daniel F. Graves reconsiders Izaak Walton’s 1655 The Life of Richard Hooker, a once authoritative biography of Hooker that has fallen out of favor in recent years.

Graves contends that “Hooker scholarship has adhered too closely to [C.J.] Sisson and [David] Novarr’s dismissal of Walton as a reliable source and essentially taken him off the table as a resource in reconstructing the life of Hooker. It is high time we treated Walton seriously, although not uncritically, and put him back on the table.” Graves does just that.

He is theologian-in-residence at Trinity Anglican Church in Aurora, Ontario and teaches church history at Huron University College in London, Ontario.

Other Hooker related studies in the spring issue of AEH are:

“The Beauty of Holiness between Hooker and Laud: ‘Not more holy, than comely, nor more sacred than sumptuous’” by Travis J. Knapp. The study looks at evolving usage of the phrase “in the beauty of holiness” in Laudian and anti-Laudian liturgies. Knapp is assistant professor of English at Valley City State University in North Dakota.

“Early Protestant Riffs on Ephesians 4:18 in martin Bucer and Richard Hooker” by David B. Alenskis, a doctoral student at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto.

“‘Pretended Queen’: English Catholics and Elizabethan Treason Legislation, 1569-1572” by Hannah Wygiera, a doctoral student at the University of Calgary who is also involved in church governance within the Anglican Church of Canada

Exhibit Reviews

Black Americans, Civil Rights and the Roosevelts, 1932-1962 – a special exhibition at the Franklin D. Roosevelt President Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York that ran June 2023 through December 2024.

“Some auditory displays and video scan draw in younger viewers more easily than the many documents reflecting the correspondence among Civil Rights leaders and politicians from 1932. Yet, those documents give a deeper understanding of the lives of Black Americans during that time,” according to Janet Manko of the Lakeville Journal Company. “The exhibit includes information that will be enlightening for people of all ages.”

Morgan’s Bibles: Splendor in Scripture – an exhibit at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, NY (October 2023-January 2024) by Nancy Bryan of New York City

Podcast Review

“Religion in the American Experience” hosted by Chris Stevenson

Edward Rowlands hears “…a compelling resource for Americans to understand the role of religion in their national story, and a podcast that an academic and educated audience can deeply appreciate.” And that “Controversial themes of religion and American history that still blight the national conscience are discussed openly.”

Church Review

The December issue of Anglican and Episcopal History (AEH) reaches across a broad range of geography and time to offer studies of interest related to church-state relations, liturgy, and theology.

Studies addressing church-state relations consider events in France, England, Germany, and the U.S.

Justus Doenecke considers ways two different theologies can lead to similar conclusions. He closely examines archived issues of the Anglo-Catholic weekly The Living Church to determine ways it responded to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson’s policies surrounding World War I. This study shows ways The Living Church editor Frederic Cook Morehouse (1868-1932) and the Presbyterian US president both came to equate Christianity with patriotism. Doenecke cautions that “…statecraft took on the trappings of a crusade” while both men assumed a universalism that was “doomed to failure be it in 1914-19 or a century thereafter.”

The study is titled “The Living Church and Wilsonianism, 1914-1920: An Ambiguous Legacy.” Doenecke is emeritus professor of history at New College of Florida.

Two studies address events in Europe.

Mary, as Our Lady of Lourdes, is well-known. Shawn Martin, head of scholarly communication at Dartmouth College, introduces readers to a lesser-known apparition of Mary that occurred in La Salette, France, in 1846.

Martin notes ways that the appearance before two children, Maximin Giraud and Mélanie Calvat, was widely reported in European newspapers at the time. It was also interpreted politically by some as a way to support centralized government and the restoration of the French monarchy.

In “Marian Apparitions in Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue: La Salette and the Politics of Mariology in Nineteenth-Century England,” Martin argues that the different ways in which the apparition in La Sallette was interpreted politically provides lessons for the Anglican Communion and Roman Catholic Church not to let politics get in the way of what Mary was about.

Other studies with connections to church-state dynamic include:

• “George Bell, the British Churches, and Émigré Artists from Nazi Europe, 1933-c.1957” by Peter Webster. Webster is head of digital scholarship and innovation at the Hartley Library, University of Southampton

• “Indigenous African Women as Missionaries, Preachers, Evangelists, and Receivers of Christianity in the Interactions of Niger Missions in the Middle Belt States of Nigeria, 1841-1930” by Kefas Lamak, a doctoral student at the University of Iowa. Lamak uses a “history from below” framework to recover indigenous women’s perspectives from their triple marginalization by African men, colonial missionary men, and women from outside the region.

Studies related to liturgy and theology include:

• “Revising the 1929 Book of Common Prayer Psalter: A Difficult and Delicate Process” by Steven Bishop. This study uses extensive archival evidence and a focused study of Psalm 84 to examine the methodology used for revising the psalter. Bishop’s examination provides lessons for future revisions of the 1979 Psalter. He writes that “Revising is as taxing as translating… The peculiar constraints of a translation embedded in a religious tradition and emotionally charged attachment to that tradition make the work particularly hazardous.” Bishop is associate professor of the Old Testament at Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas.
• “Explanations of the Real Presence and Richard Allestree’s Heresy of Impanation in Early Modern England, 1534-1681: Finding God in Bread” by Tanner Moore. This essay proposes that Richard Allestree’s (1619/21?-1681) theology on the Eucharist used the heresy of impanation to reconcile Church of England theology of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist with its Roman Catholic heritage. Moore is visiting professor of religious studies at Claremont McKenna College.

Anglican and Episcopal History offers scholars and history buffs 20 book reviews, 2 exhibit reviews, and 2 church reviews in its autumn issue. The September issue commemorates the 70^th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Brown v. the Board of Education (1954) ordering the desegregation of U.S. public schools.

Church Reviews Church reviews provide readers a glimpse of divine services throughout the Anglican Communion, especially within the Episcopal Church. This issue features profiles of the All Saints’ Sunday service at Christ Episcopal Church in Charlevoix, Michigan, part of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Michigan, and a Christmas Eve service 10 years after schism at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Peters Township, Pennsylvania, part of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh.
