A sharp, historically grounded exchange on church governance and doctrine

In these letters, George Weller responds to Dr. Samuel Miller’s public criticisms with a careful examination of Episcopal principles and Christian ministry in early America. The work foregrounds debates about liturgy, church order, and how Protestants have understood tradition and authority.

Two lengthy letters frame the dispute, offering detailed arguments, counterpoints, and reflections on the role of editors in shaping public opinion. The author reviews Miller’s writings, cites critics and witnesses, and defends the Episcopal church’s stance in a complex, faction-filled era.

Clear argument about church governance and ordination across Protestant traditions
Direct engagement with period debates, including how editors and public papers influence perception
Point-by-point critique of historical sources and claims related to episcopacy

Ideal for readers interested in religious history, 19th‑century American church controversy, and how theological disputes were argued in public forums.
