In Memoriam: A Sermon In Commemoration Of The Life And Labors Of The Rt. Rev. Stephen Elliott ... Delivered In Christ Church, Savannah, Ga., On Sunday (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781273645976)

In Memoriam: A Sermon In Commemoration Of The Life And Labors Of The Rt. Rev. Stephen Elliott is a moving tribute delivered by Richard Hooker Wilmer following the death of Stephen Elliott, the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia and Provisional Bishop of Florida in the Confederate States of America.

Preached in Christ Church, Savannah, Georgia, on January 27, 1867, this sermon offers insights into Elliott's life, ministry, and the profound impact he had on his community, particularly during the tumultuous years of the Civil War. Wilmer's eulogy not only commemorates Elliott's contributions to the church but also provides a glimpse into the religious and social landscape of the post-war South.

This historical document serves as a valuable resource for those interested in religious history, the Episcopal Church, and the legacy of prominent figures who navigated the challenges of their time.
