Show History of Episcopal hmv,h in Wall by W. Nelson Abbott The Episcopal Church was the first of the evangelical Protestant churches with a definite official effort to start organizing in Utah. In 1866, at a House of Bishops meeting in New York City, a 29 year old parish pastor, Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, was elected missionary bishop of the Montana, Mon-tana, Idaho and Utah territories. While Tulle was waiting to be ordained. Warren Hussey, a Salt Lake banker requested that Tuttle begin his mission in Utah. Before leaving the east coast, Tuttle recruited four clergyman friends lo help him in his mission. mis-sion. The Reverends George Foote and T.W. Haskins preceded preced-ed Tuttle to Utah and held the first Episcopalian services at the Young Men's Literary Institute (Independence Hall) in May 1867. They also organized an association to raise funds for a school. St. Mark's School opened July 1, 1867 in a rented adobe building on Main Street. Three days later. Bishop Tuttle arrived in Salt Lake City with two other missionaries and paid a courtesy call on Brigham Young. From the beginning, the Episcopalian policy . towards Mormons was to maintain good relations by not directly criticizing criticiz-ing Mormon theology or practice and instead - to win respect through Episcopal faith and practice. prac-tice. Bishop Tuttle and his family stayed in Utah, after a two year hiatus in Montana, from 1869-1886. 1869-1886. On July 30. 1870, the cornerstone of the Cathedral Church of St, Mark's was laid. That same year. Rev. Haskins started holding Episcopal church services in Ogden, initially in the passenger room of the train depot and opened the School of the Good Shepherd in a rented building build-ing with thirteen students. . During Turtle's tenure, the Episcopal church founded 'additional 'addi-tional parishes in Plain City and Salt Lake City, founded a hospital, hospi-tal, St. Mark's, in Salt Lake City and opened a day and boarding school for girls, Rowland Hall.
