Excerpt from The Church, the Faith, Tradition: A Sermon In process of time, however,the state of the Church began to change. Even within its own borders, oppositions to the primi tive faith increased In number and in influence. This was, in a good measure, the consequence of Christianity being embraced by the great ph'ilosophers of the day. Many of these, having been,_iin their respective schools, more accustomed to the exercise Of the head, and indulgence in ingenious speculation, than' the government of the heart, and a severe and disinterested adherence to the truth, and not suffering their conversion to. Be so thorough as to bring every high imagination into the obedience of christ, were prone, after? Their admission into the' Church, and even into its ministry, to exercise a rash and daring ingenuity, on the Chris-é tian system, and thus often present it in a distorted shape, and with no small mixture of alloy.

Benjamin Tredwell Onderdonk was born on July 15, 1791, in New York City. He was the son of Dr. John and Deborah (Ustick) Onderdonk, and a descendant of Andries Onderdonk, a native of New Castle, Delaware, who died in 1687; Bishop Henry Ustick Onderdonk was Benjamin's brother.
Benjamin Onderdonk was graduated at Columbia College in 1809, studied theology.
After graduation Benjamin Onderdonk was ordained deacon at St. Paul's Chapel, New York, August 2, 1812, and priest, in Trinity Church, Newark, New Jersey, July 26, 1815, by Bishop John Henry Hobart. That same year he was appointed assistant minister of Trinity Church, New York, which position he held until his elevation to the episcopate, gaining a reputation as an excellent preacher and an energetic worker. From about 1821 he served as professor of ecclesiastical history at the General Theological Seminary, New York, and also as professor of the nature, ministry, and polity of the Church; from 1816 to 1830 he was secretary of the New York diocesan convention. On November 26, 1830, he was consecrated bishop of New York, in St. John's Chapel, by Bishops William White, Thomas Church Brownell, and Henry Ustick Onderdonk. In November 1844 he was presented for trial upon the charges of "immorality and impurity" by Bishops William Meade of Virginia, James Hervey Otey of Tennessee, and Stephen Elliott, Jr. , of Georgia. On January 3, 1845, after a trial by the court of bishops provided for by the canons of his Church, he was suspended "from the office of a Bishop in the Church of God, and from all the functions of the sacred ministry. "
It was the first trial of a bishop ever held under the canons of the Episcopal Church (since the suspension of his brother the previous year had been effected without a trial) and was the most sensational episode in the history of the Church up to that time. The canon which gave the right of presentment to any three bishops, as well as to the bishop's own diocese, had been passed only three months previous to the trial. The Churchman, at that time representing the High Church party, charged that the presentment and condemnation of Bishop Onderdonk were the result of a Low Church conspiracy. The trustees of the General Theological Seminary refused to remove him from his professorship in that institution. It is recorded that "the proceedings of the court were almost universally reprobated. " In 1859 a resolution was offered in the New York diocesan convention requesting "the House of Bishops to remit and terminate the Judicial Sentence of Suspension, under which the Bishop of the Diocese of New York is now suffering disability. " In presenting the resolution, Dr. Francis Vinton argued that the canon under which Onderdonk was tried was responsible for the indefinite character of the sentence, since it provided only for "admonition, suspension or degradation"; that its injustice had been officially recognized, since the next General Convention (1847) had revised the canon to provide remission or modification, and had adopted another specifying that under no circumstances should any similar indefinite sentence be passed on any one in the future. He pleaded that the convention should ask to have done in Onderdonk's case what the later canon provided - a time limit set for such suspension.
In 1850, furthermore, a canon had been passed establishing procedure for the resignation of a suspended bishop, thereby demonstrating that Onderdonk still retained his jurisdiction. In the same year another canon provided for a provisional incumbent to serve during the suspension of a bishop, thus indicating that the Church intended to make possible a suspended bishop's restoration. A memorial to the General Convention from Bishop Onderdonk was read, in which he begged "the mercy of the removal of my sentence, " and stated that he could not acknowledge all the crimes imputed to him, adding, "I cannot but believe parts of my conduct to have betrayed indiscretion. " The resolution was passed in the diocesan convention by vote of 147 to 19 (clerical) and 75 to 46 (lay). The General Convention of 1859 did not act on the petition, and before the next General Convention, Onderdonk had died. His conduct during his years of suspension was a matter for high commendation on all sides. He was a stanch and vigorous High Churchman, an aggressive, able administrator and opponent. His only written works were episcopal addresses, charges, and pastorals.
Benjamin Onderdonk is famous through the scandal which arouse around him during his service as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. He was accused of adherence to Roman Catholicism and improper behavior to parishioners. As a result of the trial Onderdonk remained Bishop of New York but was suspended from performing his duties.
