Trinity College vice-president, James F. English, Jr., turns over Bishop
Samuel Seabury's mitre to his successors, Bishop Morgan Porteus, right, and Bishop
Coadjutor Arthur E. Walmsley, left, for safekeeping in the archive room of the diocesan
house, Hartford, Conn. The transfer was made following Evensong in Trinity College
Chapel on St. Andrew's Day, the 250th anniversary of Seabury's birth, at the beginning
of a special convention of the Diocese of Connecticut which voted to raise $6.8 million
for Venture in Mission. (Photo Credit: David G. Pritchard)
