Adelaide Teague Case, Teacher 1887-1948 (She was actually yesterday but I am doing her for our Margaret, also a religious educator by vocation.)

   Psalm 52:8b

I will 
trust
in the 
mercy 
of God 
for ever 
and ever.
Adelaide Case [1/10/1887-7/19/1948] was the first  woman appointed to teach at an Episcopal seminary (Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge, MA). Her interests were Christian education and social reform, and she took part in many educational, social and ecumenical movements including “The Episcopal Pacifist Fellowship.” — from Holy Women, Holy Men

 “Dr. Case received her Ph. D. 
from Columbia and taught Religious Education there for many years before joining ETS later in her 
career. Her doctoral thesis, Liberal Christianity And Religious Education, was published as a book in 1924 
and is still in print.”
