Philadelphia Congregations Early Records Project ATLA Digital Library United States Philadelphia Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania Archives EpiscopalDiocese.WilliamWhiteJournal https://philadelphiacongregations.org/records/item/EpiscopalDiocese.WilliamWhiteJournal In 1784, members of the vestry of the United Churches of Christ Church and St. Peter's and the vestry of St. Paul's appointed a committee to confer with the clergy of their respective churches, "on the subject of forming a representative Body of the Episcopal Church in this State." They wrote a letter, signed by chairman William White, to all Episcopal churches in Pennsylvania, asking them to send delegates to a meeting at which general principles and a framework of governance would be established. This bound manuscript includes William White's journals documenting the formation of the Diocese of Pennsylvania in 1784, as well as the institution of a convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the state of Pennsylvania, and minutes from the first six such conventions, up to 1790.
