APPENDIX E.
VESTRY UPHOLDS THE BISHOP'S AUTHORITY.
Nov. 23, 1816. Resolved, as the opinion of the Vestry, that whereas certain Ministers of the Protestant Episcopal Church in this State have protested against the authority of the Bishop of this State ( Bishop Meade) and have declared that they never will acknowledge his authority as Bishop, that therefore the Vestry consider it incumbent on them to call upon their present Rec- tor, Mr. Handy, to state explicitly whether he does acknowledge the authority of the Bishop of this State or not. In reply Mr. Ilandy unequivocally declared that he did not acknowledge the anthority of the Bishop of this State; that he looked upon him as an usarper, and that he consid- ered him only as a Presbyter in the Church.
Sunday, 24th Nov., 1816. Resolved, that the Vestry conceived it to be their duty, not from any personal objections against Mr. Ilandy, but as members of the Church acknowledging Her supreme authority, not to make any contract with The Rev. Mr. Handy for the ensuing year.
The Register, Mr. Robt. Dunn, to furnish the Rev. Mr. Handy and the Rev. Mr. Turner, one of the Standing Committee, with a copy of the foregoing proceedings.
