The Right Rev. William Ingraham Kip, D.D. Bishop of California, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The Right Rev. William Ingraham Kip, D.D. Bishop of California, 1858. American Protestant prelate. His labours as missionary Bishop for three long years of trial and difficulty were uniformly stamped by a wise, firm, conciliatory, gentlemanly, and truly Christian administration of the episcopal functions; hence the united, warm, and spontaneous expression of love for his person and satisfaction with his course in our unanimous election of him as our chief pastor. He came here when there were only from three to five infant parishes in the whole State - when it may be said the Church had only a nominal existence on this distant shore of the Pacific; but now there are three flourishing parishes in the city of San Francisco alone, one in Sacramento, and one in almost every considerable town in California, planted and fostered by Bishop Kip...If ever a man of God in modern times had just reason to denominate missionary work a soul warfare, Bishop Kip has that reason...In the American Episcopate, which is derived from the English, he is only two removes from the Archbishop of Canterbury. He is also very nearly connected to some noble English families of long standing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This image depicts The Right Reverend William Ingraham Kip, D.D., the esteemed Bishop of California from 1855 to 1858. Kip's tenure as missionary bishop was marked by three years of trials and challenges, during which he demonstrated a wise, firm, conciliatory, gentlemanly, and truly Christian administration of the episcopal functions. Upon his arrival in California, the Church had a mere nominal existence, with only a few infant parishes in the entire state. However, under Kip's leadership, the Church flourished, and by 1858, there were several thriving parishes in San Francisco, Sacramento, and other significant towns throughout California. The quote from the "Illustrated London News" of 1858 pays tribute to Kip's remarkable accomplishments, stating that "he came here when there were only three to five infant parishes in the whole State...but now there are three flourishing parishes in the city of San Francisco alone, one in Sacramento, and one in almost every considerable town in California, planted and fostered by Bishop Kip." The challenges faced by Kip in his missionary work were indeed soul-wearing, as the quote suggests. In the American Episcopate, which is derived from the English Church, Kip was only two removes from the Archbishop of Canterbury. Furthermore, he was connected to some noble English families of long standing, adding to his esteemed lineage." This photograph is a testament to the indomitable spirit and dedication of Bishop Kip, who played a pivotal role in establishing the Episcopal Church in California during a time of great adversity and growth.
