George David Cummins

George David Cummins (1822-76) was an American bishop. He was born in Delaware, graduated from Dickinson College in 1841, and entered the Methodist ministry. In 1845 he took orders in the Episcopal church and was rector of several Episcopal churches in Virginia, Washington, and Chicago. He was chosen Assistant Bishop of Kentucky in 1866 and later Bishop of Chicago. He gave up his seat as bishop after a number of changes in Church doctrine and practice. Among them was allowing more liberal views of the Bible, ending the traditional cooperation between Episcopalians and Presbyterians that included exchange of ministers, and ending the practice to allow baptized Christians from other denominations to participate in communion. In 1873, Bishop Cummins founded the Reformed Episcopal Church, of which he was the first presiding bishop, in New York City.
