Riassunto

Excerpt from Statement of Facts, Relating to the Late Ordination at Grace Church: With the Correspondence on the Subject Between the Rt. Rev. J. P. K. Henshaw, D. D. And the Rev. James W. Cooke

Tar: circumstances which led to the following corres pondence with the Bishop of the Diocese, are well known to the Episcopalians of Providence. For others, a sum cient explanation is given in the correspondence itself. I cannot, however, permit the publication of these letters. Without expressing my deep regret at the necessity of bringing them before the public eye. The many rumors, exaggerated and contradictory, afloat in the community, some of them most unjust to myself, and others equally unjust to the other parties concerned, can only be met and set at rest, by the facts of the case. The letter of the Bishop is published with his own consent! While it must be evident to all that, the embarrassments connected with the late ordination at Grace Church, arose from an honest misunderstanding as to the part I was expected to take, I trust that, the respected congregation of Grace Church, will acquit me of all intention to manifest the least disrespect to their Pastor and Diocesan. When placed in the unexpected position in which I found my self at the Chancel, necessity alone induced a course, against which all my personal feelings revolted. For my justification, I must refer to the facts disclosed in the cor respondence. J. W. G.
