Building the "Goodly Fellowship of Faith"

As shown by this critical, independent history, which ends with the ordination of one of the first women bishops in the nation, Utah Episcopalians have had—despite small numbers—a remarkably eventful and significant history, which included complex relations with Mormons and Native Americans, early experience of women and homosexuals in the ministry, and a fascinating set of bishops. Among the latter were Daniel Tuttle, a leading figure in Episcopal history; Christian socialist and Social Gospel proponent Frank Spencer Spalding; and Paul Jones, forced to resign because of his pacifism during WWI.
