William T. Manning
Résumé
William Thomas Manning (May 12, 1866 – November 18, 1949) was a U.S. Episcopal bishop of New York City (1921–1946). He led a major $10 million campaign to raise funds for additional construction on the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and directed a program to train and employ men from the neighborhood as skilled artisans during the Great Depression and later.
In 1939-40, Manning took a leadership role in the successful effort to force the City University of New York to rescind their offer of a professorship to the philosopher Bertrand Russell.
William Thomas Manning was born in Northampton, England in 1866. His family moved to the United States in 1882, when he was 16 years old. He entered the University of the South (Sewanee, Tennessee) in 1888, where he studied under William Porcher Du Bose. He obtained a B.D. degree in 1894.
Manning became a deacon on December 12, 1889, and was ordained as a priest on December 12, 1891. He was called to the following:
Rector of Trinity Church, Redlands, California (1891–1893)
Professor of Systematic Divinity at the School of Theology of the University of the South (1893–1895)
Rector of St. John's Church, Lansdowne, Pennsylvania (1896–1898)
Rector of Christ Church, Nashville (1898–1903)
Vicar of St. Agnes', New York (1903–1904)
Assistant rector of Trinity Church, New York (1904–1908)
Rector of Trinity Church, New York (1908–1921)
Bishop of New York (May 11, 1921 – December 31, 1946)
When the Bishop was asked whether salvation could be found outside the Episcopal Church, he replied, "Perhaps so, but no gentleman would care to avail himself of it."
One year prior to the U.S. entering World War I, Manning said:
Our Lord Jesus Christ does not stand for peace at any price...Every true American would rather see this land face war than see her flag lowered in dishonor...I wish to say that, not only from the standpoint of a citizen, but from the standpoint of a minister of religion...I believe there is nothing that would be of such great practical benefit to us as universal military training for the men of our land.
