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 1 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.
Among the earlier colleges established after the forma tion Of the general convention were Trinity college, Hart ford, Conn. Hobart college, Geneva, N. Y. And Kenyon college, Gambier, Ohio The last, and the theological seminary at the Same place, were pioneer institutions in the extension of the church westward. The University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn., is the fruit of a plan that was formed by Bishop Otey, the first bishop Of Tennessee, to establish a large institution under the control of the Episcopal church, in which religion should go hand in hand with every lesson of a secular character, and young men be prepared for the ministry. The scheme was revived by Bishop Polk in 1856, and the co-operation of the bishops of nine southern dioceses was secured to carry it out. The institution was broken up almost at its beginningby the Civil war; but its operations were renewed in 1868. It includes eleven departments or schools.
