File — Box: 2, Folder: 16
Scope and Contents
From the Series:
Series contains correspondence from Edward’s brother Michael to their mother Elizabeth. They date from January 12, 1948 to June 16, 1952. They disclose an estrangement with his family (which Michael called a “family feud”) over his decision to become a priest in the Anglican (Episcopal) Church. Set against the backdrop of increasing tension between the Soviet Union and the West, Michael explains his decision and offers his views on communist dictatorships, the waywardness of the “Roman Church,” and why the Anglican (Episcopal) tradition is a purer form of the original Christian church.
