Excerpt from The University of King's College: Windsor, Nova Scotia, 1790-1890

The circumstances under which these eighteen clergymen met were unusually distressing. The period was at the close of the Revolutionary War. The property of some of them had been for the most part destroyed or confiscated. Others had been violently separated from their families, and imprisoned or maltreated. The subsequent fate which befell the different members of the self-constituted Convention of March 21, 1783, was diverse in the extreme. Jointly, this heroic band had formulated and adopted schemes for the security of the Church in the thirteen independent States and the adjacent British Province of Nova Scotia, which then included New Brunswick.

Three of the Convention subsequently became bishops, but under two different forms of government, emerging from prolonged and bitter strife. They had consequently a distinct and to a certain extent antagonistic temporal allegiance; but they had jointly fought for and secured the same spiritual succession, and thus remained members of one undivided Church. They had together labored for the security of that Church throughout all English-speaking America. They recommended an American, then in England, Dr. T. Bradbury Chandler, for Bishop of Nova Scotia, in a letter dated March 26, 1783.

The day before this selection was made, ten clergymen met at Woodbury, Connecticut, and selected Revs. Jeremiah Learning, D. D., and Samuel Seabury, D. D., as suitable, either of them, to go to England and solicit consecration as bishop of that State. Dr. Learning declined, and Dr. Seabury sailed for England in June.
