Louie Crew: Rome's most influential Episcopalian?

[Hills of the North] 12 Feb 2008--In January I offered the first of two finalists as answer to my December question: what Episcopalian associated with a Rome-area Episcopal church in the last 150 years has been the most influential? I hinted that the person was affiliated with a Rome-area educational establishment. Martha Berry was an obvious answer to the question, and I gave the reasons why. But there is a second St. Peter’s Episcopalian who has had enormous influence whom we must consider.

In 1959 Anniston native and McCallie boarding-school grad Louie Crew came to Rome’s Darlington School, then a prep school only for boys, to teach in the English department. His courses included what the 1962 yearbook described as an "unorthodox" Bible course (prescient that). He was also faculty adviser to the school's "Y Cabinet," a YMCA offshoot that coordinated student religious activities. He lived in the dorm. He was at Darlington for three years before moving on to another boarding school in Delaware. While in Rome, he left his strict Baptist upbringing behind, and on October 29, 1961, was confirmed at our own St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.
