Adelaide Teague Case, Educator, 1948
Almighty and everlasting God, who raises up educators and
teachers of the faith in every generation of your church: Grant that following
the example of your servant Adelaide Teague Case, we might be bold to proclaim
the reconciling power of Christ’s love in our own generation. Through the same
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Adelaide Teague Case - January 10, 1887 - July 19, 1948 was
the first woman appointed to teach at an Episcopal seminary – the Episcopal
Theological School, Cambridge, MA. Her interests were Christian education and
social reform, and she took part in many educational, social and ecumenical
movements including “The Episcopal Pacifist Fellowship.”*
With prayers of thanks for every teacher I’ve ever had and for all the teachers in my own family.
