William Henry Odenheimer (1817-1879) was the third Episcopal Bishop of New Jersey and the first of Northern New Jersey. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1835. He then attended the General Theological Seminary, graduating in 1838. Odenheimer was ordained deacon in 1838 by Bishop Henry U. Onderdonk, and was ordained priest by the same bishop the same year. After his ordination to the priesthood, he served as rector of St. Peter's Church in Philadelphia, remaining at the parish from his ordination until his elevation to the episcopate. Odenheimer was a strong supporter of the Oxford Movement, and changed the organization of St. Peter's to reflect that preference. His theological beliefs were out of step with the rising anti-Catholicism of Philadelphia in the 1840s, but Odenheimer sought to steer a middle course between the extremes of Catholicism and Protestantism. He was consecrated the third Bishop of New Jersey in 1859 - he was the 66th bishop in the Episcopal Church. Important and scarce theological work. N° de ref. del artículo RAREA1843HNOB
