The Right Reverend William Croswell Doane (March 2, 1832 in Boston〔George Lynde Richardson, Project Canterbury: William Croswell Doane, First Bishop of Albany (Hartford, Connecticut; Church Missions Publishing, 1933), found at (Anglican History website G L Richardson page ). Retrieved January 9, 2009.〕 – May 17, 1913 in New York City〔〔''Who's Who 1914'', p. xxii〕) was the 1st Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany in the United States. He was bishop from 1869 until his death in 1913. Doane served about 60 years in ordained ministry, a huge span for those times. As bishop, he managed the construction of the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany, the first Episcopal cathedral built for that purpose in the United States. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Doane is probably best known today for his Anglican hymn, "Ancient of Days".〔W.C. Doane, ''Ancient of Days'', Song # 363, ''The Hymnal 1982'' (Church Publishing 1982), ISBN 0-89869-120-6.〕 As a student at Burlington College in New Jersey, he was one of three founding members of the "Delta" chapter of the college fraternity of Delta Psi (ΔΨ)), later known as St. Anthony Hall after the chapter transferred to the nearby University of Pennsylvania.〔("Histories of Early Penn Fraternities: Delta Psi (St. Anthony Hall)" ), University of Pennsylvania Archives, accessed 19 September 2013〕〔(George Lynde Richardson, "William Croswell Doane, First Bishop of Albany" ), Anglican History〕 ==Early life== Doane was born in Boston, and named for his father's best friend, the Rev. William Croswell.〔 When he was born, his father, the Rev. George Doane, was Rector of the prominent Trinity Church, Boston, located on Copley Square.〔〔Gwynn, James, "Like Father, Like Son", ''Swan & Elk'' (Newsletter of The Cathedral of All Saints), Fall 2012, p. 11.〕 Within a year, his father was elected second Bishop of New Jersey (since the American Revolutionary War and establishment of the American Episcopal Church).〔〔 The family settled in the see of Burlington, New Jersey, which had been settled largely by Quakers in colonial times and also has the oldest Episcopal church in the state. Doane attended the private Episcopal St. Mary's School there, founded in 1838 by his father.〔 He graduated from Burlington College in the town, where he and two friends had co-founded the fourth, or "Delta" chapter of the fraternity Delta Psi. It became known as St. Anthony Hall for a building it used after moving to the University of Pennsylvania in nearby Philadelphia.〔〔 After college, Doane became an Episcopal priest. Like his father, he became involved in the Oxford Movement, which sought to restore richness of practice to the liturgy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Croswell Doane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
