Biographical / Historical note:Served in Union Army during the Civil War; ordained as a minister in 1863, he served in three churches: First Congregational Church of Bangor, Maine (1870-1875), First Presbyterian Church of Quincy, Ill. (1875-1882), First Church of Christ of New Haven, Ct. (1882-1908); after 1908 devoted himself to protestant unity and theology.
-
Summary:Correspondence, writings, diaries, sermons, and other papers of Newman Smyth, theologian, author, and pastor. The papers relate largely to Smyth's interest in and work on behalf of protestant unity; there is little material for the period prior to his retirement from the ministry in 1908. Important correspondents include bishops and officials in the Anglican and Protestant Episcopal churches, other churchmen and theologians, and laymen interested in his work, most notable George Wharton Pepper and George Zabriskie.
