I'm so relieved to know the church's real estate holdings will be secured! Nertz to you, Thurlow Weed! According to Mr. Keneally, biographer of Dan Sickles, the basic point was that less-fortunate Episcopal congregations wanted Trinity to share the wealth. After that, inter-party, intra-party, and personal conflicts blew it up into a Big Deal.
Speaking of Mr. Keneally, author of Schindler's List and other popular works, I would describe his work as "creative nonfiction." He tells a very good story, very involving, moves right along ... unlike, say, William C. Davis or Victor Davis Hanson ... but the distinctions among verified fact, opinion, guesswork, and projection are far from clear. I assume he is a Democrat.

“Removal of Hackley and McVickar for incompetency”?
What is that about? They were supposed to be two of the top professors at Columbia.
