James DeKoven, Priest 1855 - 1879

I will dwell in your house for ever; For you, O God, have heard my vows
Psalm 61:4a,5a



James DeKoven was nominated Bishop of Wisconsin 1874 and of Illinois in 1875. Because of his churchmanship and his support of “ritual” in the church (vestments, candles...) which was controversial at he time, consent was not given for his consecration. 

I think he looks a little like George! Hemingway whose ordination anniversary is on Friday, don't you?
