William Reed Huntington

1838–1909 · Protestant Episcopal Church (United States) · New York, United States

William Reed Huntington (1838–1909) was rector of Grace Church, New York, from 1883 and the most influential presbyter of his generation in the American Episcopal Church. His book The Church-Idea (1870) proposed the four-point basis for reunion adopted as the Chicago–Lambeth Quadrilateral, and he laboured for prayer book revision and for the restoration of the order of deaconesses.
