Algernon Sidney Crapsey, the son of Jacob Tompkins and Rachel (Morris) Crapsey and grandson of Thomas Morris, was born on June 28, 1847 at Fairmount, Ohio, United States.
Crapsey went to work in his eleventh year when his father’s law practise had gone into a decline; at fifteen he campaigned for four months in Kentucky and Tennessee as a private in the 79th Ohio Infantry and was invalided home to die of a hypertrophied heart; at twenty, while a bookkeeper in a New York printing- office, he joined the Episcopal Church and decided to become a minister. Algernon pursued a special course at St. Stephen’s College at Annandale-on-Hudson 1867-1869. He graduated from the General Theological Seminary in New York in 1872. He was ordained deacon that same year and priest in 1873.
In 1873-1879 Crapsey was on the staff of Trinity Parish in New York, being assigned to the work at St. Paul’s Chapel. There he was from the outset so successful that the special position of junior assistant minister was created for him. In order to have a parish of his own he relinquished his post in New York and in June 1879 assumed the rectorship of St. Andrew’s, Rochester, New York, a small, impecunious, and spiritually sickly church.
On April 18, 1906, at Batavia, New York, he was placed on trial for heresy before the court of the Diocese of Western New York for having said in a lecture that “in the light of scientific research the Founder of Christianity, Jesus the son of Joseph, no longer stands apart from the common destiny of man in life and death, but He is in all things physical like as we are, born as we are born, dying as we die, and both in life and death in the keeping of that same Divine Power, that heavenly Fatherhood, which delivers us from the womb and carries us down to the grave. ” The trial ended in the conviction of the heretic and the propagation of his heresy. Unable to recant before his bishop, Crapsey was deposed from the ministry, and on the Christmas Eve before his death might have heard the same teaching in regard to the Second Person of the Trinity broadcast over the radio, quite without criticism, by one of the leading Episcopal clergymen of New York City. Friends within and without the Church remained steadfast and manifested their friendship in helpful ways.
He continued to live in Rochester, devoting much of his time to lecturing and writing, was a delegate to the International Peace Conference at The Hague in 1907, and in 1914 was appointed one of the state parole officers. As a writer he constantly grew in power. He wrote Meditations on the Five Joyful Mysteries (1888); The Last of the Heretics (1924) and other books.
Algernon Sidney Crapsey became one of the best- known clergymen of his denomination. Under his guidance parish of St. Andrew’s, Rochester grew to be one of the most frequented and influential in the city and the center of extensive, highly efficient social work. As a writer, he was most famous for his last book "The Last of the Heretics" (1924) which ranks well among American autobiographies.

Crampsey supported non-literal interpretations of The Bible and embraced evolution theory.
Crapsey was a gentle, soft-spoken, scholarly little man. He was five feet six inches tall and weighed only 120 pound. He attracted men of all classes to him by his eloquence, transparent sincerity and consecration.
On June 2, 1875, Crapsey married Adelaide Trowbridge of Catskill, New York, who with five of their nine children outlived him. Adelaide Crapsey was their third child.
