David Jackson Kemper had served for 20 years as the assistant to Bishop White of Pennsylvania when he answered General Convention’s call to mission work in the “Old Northwest” near the Great Lakes. Kemper thrived there, founding scores of churches and schools, leading to the formation of dioceses in seven states. He even headed up missions to the South and Southwest, and constantly urged the Church to take up “Indian work” as he did in Wisconsin. The American Church today would be a small, snobby, regional church without Jackson Kemper.
