Several weeks ago I received an appealing letter from a scholar who is presently engaged in making a study of the life and labors of an eminent priest of the Church of England in Colonial New Jersey. The reverend gentleman was the somewhat notorious Uzal Ogden, Junior, missionary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, stationed in Sussex County. His was one of the most interesting careers of his time. He was a noted evangelistic preacher— so much so that some of his colleagues in the priesthood regarded him with jaundiced eyes as “Methodistical,” and the General Convention of the Episcopal Church drove a spike into his proposed consecration to the episcopate.
