The Diocese of Western New York: History and Recollections is a comprehensive book written by Charles Wells Hayes. The book provides a detailed account of the history of the Diocese of Western New York, which was established in 1838. The author traces the growth and development of the Diocese, from its early days as a small, struggling organization to its current status as a thriving and influential religious institution.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Diocese's history. The first section provides an overview of the Diocese's founding and early years, including its struggles to establish itself in a region that was largely hostile to the Episcopal Church. The second section examines the Diocese's growth and expansion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as it became a major force in the religious life of Western New York.The third section of the book focuses on the Diocese's response to the social and political changes of the mid-20th century, including the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. The author explores how the Diocese adapted to these changes and became a leader in promoting social justice and peace.The final section of the book is a collection of personal recollections from members of the Diocese, including clergy, laypeople, and community leaders. These recollections provide a unique and personal perspective on the history of the Diocese, and offer insights into the challenges and triumphs of its members over the years.Overall, The Diocese of Western New York: History and Recollections is an engaging and informative book that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the Episcopal Church in Western New York, as well as those interested in the history of religion and social justice in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
