Corrigan, (Rt. Rev.) Daniel. Papers

• 1931-1989 (bulk 1963-1977) (Creation)

1 cu.ft. (3 boxes)

Daniel Corrigan, an Episcopal bishop and director of the Home Department of the Executive Council, worked actively in the areas of civil rights, the anti-Vietnam War movement, ecumenism, and as an advocate for the ordination of women. His devotion to these issues involved him in two historical events in the history of the Episcopal Church: the Mass for Peace at the Pentagon and the ordination of the first women to be ordained into the Episcopal Church (the Philadelphia 11).

The Papers of Bishop Daniel Corrigan include correspondence, printed material, photographs, legal documents, and reports documenting the Bishop's interest in and active involvement with the Ecumenical Movement, the Vietnam War and Peace Movements, and the ordination of women in the Episcopal Church. The bulk of the material dates from the 1960s and 1970s and documents Corrigan's dedication to ending racial segregation and his commitment to the ordination of women.
