Parted by War Centenary recalls Bishop Polk Mellvaine rift
A Civil War era memory ties Bishop Leonidas Polk of Tennessee and Bishop McIlvaine of Ohio as lifelong friends turned opposing leaders in the church and on the battlefield. Their pact to pray for each other weekly persisted as Polk led Confederate forces and McIlvaine backed the Union mission. Polk’s death at Pine Mountain is noted in a war record and a vivid letter about Hood and Johnston baptisms rounds out the portrait of the two bishops on opposite sides.
