Levi Silliman Ives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Levi Silliman Ives (1797 – 1867) was an American theologian. He was born at Meriden, Connecticut; was brought up on his father's farm in Turin, New York; served during the first year of the War of 1812 and studied at Hamilton College; but in 1819 left the Presbyterian for the Episcopal Church, and after study in New York was ordained in 1823.

He preached at Trinity Church, Philadelphia, from 1823 to 1827; at Christ Church, Lancaster, Pa., in 1827; and in Christ Church, New York, until 1831, when he became Bishop of North Carolina. There his Tractarian views brought him into trouble; he recanted, but again embraced them, and was declared deposed by his act of submission to the Pope in 1852. His apologia, The Trials of a Mind in its Progress to Catholicism, was published in 1854.

Ives spent his last years as a professor in St. Joseph's Seminary.
