Authored the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral which can be found in the historical documents section of the 1979 Prayer Book. He also wrote the collect we use during worship on Monday in Holy Week.
Collect:
O Lord our God, we thank thee for instilling in the heart of thy servant William Reed Huntington a fervent love for thy Church and its mission in the world; and we pray that, with unflagging faith in thy promises, we may make known to all people thy blessed gift of eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Two special weekday Choral Evensongs are scheduled at Saint Thomas each summer as part of the Saint Thomas Girls' Chorister Course. You may read more about the Girls' Course here on the choir school's website.
The girls return on Sunday, August 1 at 11am to sing alongside the Gentlemen of the Choir.
