About the author
Born in Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1857, Robert Strange became an Episcopal priest and later served as the second bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina. Before becoming bishop, he was rector of St. James Church in Wilmington, and he remained a prominent church voice in the region.
He also wrote on religious and social themes. One of his known works is Church Work among the Negroes in the South, and records connected with his speeches and correspondence show that he was active in public and church debates of his time.
Strange died in 1914. He is remembered chiefly for his leadership in the Episcopal Church and for writing that reflected the concerns, language, and missionary outlook of the early twentieth-century American South.
