Abstract

This collection contains a biography entitled “To Your Tents, O Israel!: The Life and Ministry of Rev. Andrew Manship. The biography covers Manship’s life both within and out of the Methodist church.

Biographical History

Reverend Andrew Manship was one of the more colorful and well-known preachers in Philadelphia during the mid 19th Century. Inspired by speeches delivered by priests when he was young, Manship became an assistant to the rector of an indebted Methodist church. Manship went on a "preaching tour" to raise awareness and build funds to save multiple churches throughout his career. In opposition to the racial climate at the time, Manship also allowed former slave preachers to speak on the pulpit. After being removed from his position within the Methodist church proper in 1878, Manship went back to local preaching, holding large ceremonies in tents until his death in 1892.
