I would love to correspond with you, Catherine. Although I am not a gifted linguist like your great great great grandfather, he has inspired me since I learned about his life in 1994. I am looking for a source to confirm that Bp. Schereschewsky wrote this prayer: "I thank Thee, Lord, for the scholarship, for the time -- and for my finger." My source is the Anglican mailing list circa 1994, but I can't confirm it now.

Related sites that don't mention that prayer:

Catherine,

I've tried to find a way to contact you other than this but your blogger profile wouldn't allow it.

I retold the story as it was told to me. I'm sorry if I got it wrong but please understand that it wasn't my intention. I don't own a copy of the book you mention but will look to borrow a copy if I can find it.

As for now, it's probably best for me not to run this story again on October 14. I will run a different story until I can better learn this one.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

You have taken great liberties. Please read Irene Eber's book The Jewish Bishop and the Chinese Bible.-among other mis-statements, my great great great grandfather ended his days in Tokyo and, while he had suffered financially, that was not the reason he left China.
