Seller's Description:
Good in fair jacket. 22 cm, 288 pages, index, DJ worn and soiled, some tears and chips to DJ edges, former owner's address on title page. Signed by the author. Walter Russell Bowie (October 8, 1882-April 23, 1969), was a priest, author, editor, educator, hymn writer, and lecturer in the Eposcopal Church. This is his autobiography. Bowie was ordained a priest in 1909. His initial service was at Emmanuel Episcopah Church in Albermarle County, Virginia. Rev. Bowie was then called to St. Paul's Church in Richmond, Virginia where he had been baptised. He served as its rector from 1911 until called by Grace Church in New York City in 1923, although that service was actually interrupted by World War I (during which Bowie served as a Red Cross chaplain at Base Hospital 45 in France). While in Richmond, Bowie was editor of the Southern Churchman. Bowie became known as a preacher as well as author and hymnist. Particularly in the 1920s, he advocated for what later become known as the Social Gospel: supporting the League of Nations, advocating US immigration reform, and opposing the Ku Klux Klan and Fundamentalism. While in New York, particularly in the 1920s, Bowie joined the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born, The Church League for Industrial Democracy, the Citizens' Committee to Free Earl Browder, and the Civil Rights Congress. Upon leaving Grace Church, Rev. Bowie remained in New York City as Professor of Pastoral Theology at Union Theological Seminary until 1950. He was a member of the editing team for the Interpreter's Bible series and the Editorial Committee for Revised Standard Version of the Bible, which published the New Testament in 1946, Old Testament in 1952 and Apocrypha in 1957. Bowie returned to his native Virginia in 1950, where he was a Professor of Homiletics at his alma mater, Virginia Theological Seminary until retiring in 1956. Bowie remained in Alexandria, where he outlived his wife by six years; both were buried at the Virginia Theological Seminary (which also remembers the former student and professor in the periodical room of its library). His papers are at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt library.
