Today the Episcopal Church remembers William Reed Huntington, Priest, 1838 - 1909

  Psalm 62:13




God 
has 
spoken 
once, 
twice
have  I
heard
it, that 
power 
belongs
 to God. 
Christian unity was the focus of Huntington’s ministry. The ground proposed for such unity were  presented to the House of Bishops meeting in Chicago in 1886 and, “with some slight modifications” were adopted by the Lambeth Conference in 1888.  “The Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral” is in the “Histor-ical Documents” section of of the Book of Common Prayer, pages 877-878. He is also the author of the lovely Collect for Monday in Holy Week, also used as the Collect for Friday at Morning Prayer. (What do you mean you don’t have a BCP at hand!? Google on up tout suite! You won’t be sorry - it is both a literary and a spiritual treasure.)
