Series 2. Bishop Hunt's Administrative Files, 1959-2001
34.5 box(es)
(17.25 linear feet)

The Bishop Hunt’s Administrative Files series consists of the administrative records of Bishop George Nelson Hunt and his office. Some of the records are prior to or after Hunt's tenure, however, the bulk of the records were created during his tenure. These records appear to have been maintained in the Bishop’s Office. Included are records of diocesan committees such as the Lay Ministries Committee, Human Affairs Commission, the Cathedral Corporation and of charitable foundations such as the Gammell Fund and Fosterian Fund. Other Episcopal organizations represented in the records include the Provincial Synod and the House of Bishops. Records of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches, New England Consultation of Church leaders, the Diocesan Convention and General Convention as well as the records of the Society of St. Francis are also found in this series. Types of records include correspondence, diocesan directories, minutes of meetings, committee reports, budget files, proceedings of House of Bishops and Province I Synod, non-parochial clergy report forms, rosters of congregational visits (ROTA), records of baptisms and confirmations performed by Bishop Hunt, the Bishop’s personal appointment calendars, press coverage and photographs of the Bishop, and files concerning the work of the various boards of Episcopal schools and homes on which Bishop Hunt served. The Episcopal Diocese and its bishops have long been active in the social as well as religious life of Rhode Island and this is documented in files on Hispanic ministries, chaplaincy ministries and issues such as AIDS, abortion and family. (See also Series VIII: Nathan Bourne Crocker Library.) Of particular interest are early records collected in conjunction with the celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island, records of ecumenical efforts such as the Abrahamic Accord, and files documenting Bishop Hunt’s trip to Romania and its orphanages.

Arrangement: Folders are arranged alphabetically by subject.

Series 3. Bishop George Nelson Hunt, 1947-1994
3.5 box(es)
(1.75 linear feet)

The Rt. Rev. George Nelson Hunt served the Diocese as its 11th Bishop from 1980 to 1994. Bishop Hunt is perhaps best known for his long struggle to call the state's government to accountability, crusading fearlessly against corruption, organized crime, and gambling, and for his insistence that the process for ordination in the Diocese would not discriminate against anyone on the basis of gender or sexual orientation.

Records in this series include personal correspondence, the orders of service for the ordination and consecration of Bishops Hunt and Shaw, materials on Bishop Hunt’s trip to
Israel, records of parish visits and confirmations, and Commission on Ministry files. Also included are materials on the 1989 meeting of the House of Bishops and diocesan deaconate programs.

Of particular interest are materials on the election of Bishop Hunt and his trip to Israel in 1985.

Arrangement: Folders are arranged alphabetically by subject.
