Journal Of The Annual Convention Diocese Of Indiana PDF Download

Excerpt from Journal of the Proceedings of the Thirteenth Annual Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, of the Diocese of Indiana: Held in Christ Church, Indianapolis, on Thursday and Friday, June 6th and 7th, 1850 The presence of Bishop Kemper, so earnestly desired by the diocese and myself, I regarded as a particular favor done to the diocese and to myself, and afforded a gratifying evidence of his unabated interest in our afl'airs. On receivinginformation from the Secretary of the Standing Committee, the only notice vouchsafed to me, of the time and place of my consecration, I immediately gave the Bishop information of the same, by telegraph; and he, with his wonted promptness, though at no little personal inconvenience, and at an incle ment season of the year, immediaw set off from his distant residence in Wisconsin, and reached Indianapolis in time to take part in the solemnity. Rom his peculiar relation to the diocese as its provisional Bishop for more than twelve years, it had been the particular request of the Standing Committee, signified through the Secretary, that he should be assigned a conspicuous part in the consecration. That request was not, however, complied with, and owing to this neglect of the earnest desire of the diocese, the gratification was greater in having him present notwithstanding, and assisting in the solemn services of the occasion.
