Bishop John Seabury was the first bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States. He was consecrated in 1784 in England and played a crucial role in establishing the church's presence in America after the American Revolution. Seabury was known for his commitment to the Anglican tradition and his efforts to unify the church. Seabury was born in 1732 in Connecticut and served as a priest before becoming a bishop. He was instrumental in the development of the church's liturgy and governance. His leadership helped shape the Episcopal Church into a distinct denomination, separate from the Church of England.
