Mefs Revd. Philo Shelton, Revd. Daniel Burhans & Revd. Tillotson Brownson were appointed a Committee to draft an answer to the last communication from Cary Leeds to this Convocation .-
The Committee appointed to draft an answer to the last communication from Cary Leeds-made the following report, which was unanimously approved of, ordered to be engrofsed upon the journals of the Convocation, & a coppy thereof to be immediately sent to M'. Cary Leeds, which was accordingly done.
To Carey Leeds, Alexander Bishop & others who are disfat- isfied with the ecclesiastical proceedings of the Bishop & Clergy of the Diocese of Connecticut in regard to M'. Ammi Rogers .-
The Bishop & Clergy of the diocese of Connecticut sincerely desirous, to promote the peace & preserve the authority of the church have met at Stamford in the hope that by a friendly conference with you, it would be in their power to satisfy you of the propriety and duty of submitting to the sentence pro- nounced upon Mr Ammi Rogers .- They regret that your refusal to engage in a personal conference has prevented that full, & fair discufsion of the subject, which in every point of view was so desirable .- By persons who profess themselves Churchmen, in principles & in practice; they still cherish the hope that the fol- lowing statement of facts from the authority of the church will be duly regarded .- It appears from page 17 of the journals of the house of Bishops a copy of which we herewith transmit to you ; that on Friday Sepr. 14 1804-"a memorial was laid on the table from the Rev Ammi Rogers, accompanied with sundry doc- ument, and a letter requesting that a day may be appointed for the consideration of the points therein stated"-And it further
-- 68-
appears that the following Monday was afsigned for the pur- pose, & notice thereof given to M' Rogers .- From page 19, it appears, that the house of Bishops resolved to go into an inves- tigation of the matters which Mr. Rogers had bro't before them, in presence of such members of the house of Clerical & Lay Deputies as should pofsefs any information on the subject .- From page 20 it appears that the Clerical members from the state of Connecticut were admitted to a hearing on the subject of Mr. Rogers in his presence, documents on both sides were read, and a hearing was given to the parties concerned-From page 21 & 22 it appears that in consequence of an application from M' Rogers made in the absence of the clergy from Con- necticutt ; the house of Bishops resolved that nothing should be done in the businefs except in the presence of both parties, & that on a further application of a Clerical Member from Connec- ticut, both parties were introduced on the following day, & a further hearing was given .- From page 23 it appears that at 7 OClock of the same day the house of Bishops met, & that the Right Revd Bishop White, the Right Revd Bishop More, & the Right Revd Bishop Parker were present, & that the Bishops came to a determination of which the following is an extract- "After a full inquiry &c .- to - degradation from the minis- try"_24
By recurring to the Journals, you will find that the above is an impartial statement of facts, & that the following particulars undeniably result from it-Mr. Ammi Rogers brought this busi- nefs himself before the house of Bishops, & in the words of his memorial declared that-"he has never shunned investigation, but on the contrary has always requested it, and now prays that a candid & impartial enquiry may be made as to his conduct and character"-It appears that Mr. Rogers presented to the house his documents ; and that a full hearing of the case, was at dif- ferent times made in the presence of both parties; that M™ Rogers confirmed the wish that he exprefsed for an enquiry by always attending for the purpose. And it was not untill the close of the enquiry, & untill he had reason to fear the unfavor- able result to himself, that he exprefsed to the Bishops that he did not wish them to Come to any decision .- Now as persons deeply interested for the peace of the church, & your spiritual 24 Note XXIV.
-69-
welfare, we intreat your conscientious attention to the follow- ing considerations .- Can you suppose, that if Mª Rogers did not wish for an enquiry into his conduct by the house of Bishops ; he would have permitted them to engage in it. without entering his solemn protest against it? Can you suppose that the Right Revd. Bishop White whose impartiality and mildness are so universally acknowledged, That Bishop More, who had been represented by Mr. Rogers, as friendly to him-that Bishop Parker, who had just made his solemn vows at the Altar, would have forced Mr. Rogers to an enquiry if he had not solicited it; would declare that they had made a full enquiry, and fair exam- ination of the subject, if such enquiry & examination had not been made ?- Can you suppose that these Bishops of the church, would have violated every obligation of truth & justice as well as the most solemn vows of office, by condemning an innocent man ?- Could Mr. Rogers have had a trial before a more impartial tribunal ?- Or can you suppose that after the house of Bishops, had made a full enquiry, & pronounced their opinion, any thing else was left to the Bishop of Connecticut than to carry their decision into effect? M™ Rogers made an appeal to the house of Bishops-They tho't proper to investi- gate his conduct & to pronounce a decision .- The cannons of the church of Connecticut in regard to the trial of Clergymen could here have no operation .- The Bishop of Connecticut was the agent to carry the decision of the house of Bishops into effect-M" Rogers has been solemnly degraded from the minis- try after a full investigation of his conduct, & a discufsion in regard to him by the highest authority of the Church-We entreat you as friends to the peace of society & the order & har- mony of the church; we entreat you by your character as Church[men]-by the memory of your forefather who cherished the church with inviolable fidelity-we entreat you by the prospect of that awful tribunal at which all mankind must be judged, to regard the divine injunction-"Hear the church"- In the language of the Apostle we exhort you, Brethren, "Put from you that unworthy person"-Remember the injunction of our Lord-"If any man refuse to hear the church, let him be unto you as a heathan man & a publican"-In the spirit of meeknefs & affection we entreat you "Rend not that divine body the church which your Redeemer purchased with his
-70-
blood-For ourselves we most solemnly declare, that mindful of the comifsion given to us by our divine Master, & relying on his promise, that He will be with His church alway, even to the end of the world, we shall esteem it our sacred duty to pre- serve inviolate the authority committed to us,-And we trust that what is there "done" by the lawful Governors of the church "on Earth will be ratified in Heaven"-
Tillotson Brownson Chairman of Commi.
