Registrar of General Convention
(1853-)

Institutionele geschiedenis

Beginning in 1841, General Convention recognized the need for a person, chosen by the House of Bishops, to procure and maintain all the Journals of the proceedings and record the time and place of the consecrations of all bishops. At the time, the Librarian of the General Theological Seminary was chosen to be the “Register of the House of Bishops”. It wasn’t until 1853 that a Canon was officially passed establishing a Registrar of the General Convention, with the Rev. John Henry Hobart elected to fill the position.

In 2012, Canon I.1.5 was amended, stipulating that the Secretary of the General Convention would act as the Registrar going forward.
