Thomas F. Gailor was an American clergyman and the third bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee in the Episcopal Church and served from 1898 to 1935.
Background
Gailor was born on September 17, 1856 in Jackson, Mississippi, the son of Frank M. and Charlotte (Moffett) Gailor. He was of Huguenot ancestry and traced his descent to Walter Gailord, whose father, William, settled in Dorchester, Massachussets, in 1630. Frank Gailor owned and edited the True Witness, published at Jackson, but later moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and became editor of the Memphis Avalanche. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was commissioned captain in the 7th Tennessee Regiment and was killed in the battle of Perryville on October 8, 1862. Thomas's mother was born in Castlebar, Ireland. She was an ardent Confederate and was disciplined for refusing to put emblems of mourning on her house when the news of Lincoln's death arrived.
Education
After attending school in Memphis Gailor was in business for a year and then entered Racine College, where he was graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1876. He prepared for the ministry at the General Theological Seminary, New York, receiving in 1879 the degree of S. T. B. , and on June 15 was ordered deacon by Bishop Charles T. Quintard, of Tennessee.
Career
Ordained to the priesthood on his twenty-fourth birthday, Gailor was appointed minister of the Church of the Messiah, Pulaski, Tennessee. In 1882 he began an official relationship to the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, which covered a period of fifty-three years. Beginning as professor of ecclesiastical history, he became vice-chancellor in 1891; chaplain two years later; and chancellor in 1908, serving in that office until his death. Extremely popular with the undergraduates, he was always known as "Chaplain Tom. " In 1891 he declined election as bishop of Georgia, and two years later he was chosen bishop coadjutor of Tennessee, being consecrated at Sewanee on July 25, 1893. He succeeded to the full charge of the diocese on the death of Bishop Quintard in 1898. Over six feet in height, with a superb physique, gifted with a resonant voice and a keen sense of humor, he came to rank as one of the great preachers of his day. Much in demand at universities and at the consecration of bishops, he gained a reputation that reached across the Atlantic to England, where he was a welcome guest in the pulpits of Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Canterbury. He was influential in the legislative assemblies of the Episcopal Church, serving as clerical deputy and bishop in the General Conventions for forty-nine years. In 1916 he was elected chairman of the House of Bishops. Three years later, when the work of the general Church was reorganized by the creation of the Council of Bishops, Gailor was chosen as presiding bishop of the Council and piloted it through its formative stage for six years, retiring at his own request to resume his jurisdiction in Tennessee. During his term as head of the Council he visited the missions of the Church in China and Japan. He twice attended the world council of Anglican bishops at Lambeth. After his return to his diocese he became an outspoken opponent of prohibition. During his long ministry his primary interest was in education and he wrote extensively on the subject. His eminence in this field was recognized by Oxford University which bestowed upon him the honorary degree of doctor in divinity. During his long residence in Memphis he came to be regarded as the leading citizen, and the Episcopal cathedral in that city, opened in 1926, bears the name "Gailor Memorial. " Among his many publications were: The Apostolical Succession (1889); The Event of All Time (1892); Things New and Old (1891); The Trust of the Episcopate (1897); The Puritan Reaction (1897); Apostolic Order (1901); "Christianity and Education, " in Baldwin Lectures for 1902-1903 (1903); The Episcopal Church and Other Religious Communions (1904); The Christian Church and Education (1910); and The Episcopal Church, Its History, Its Prayer Book, Its Ministry (1914). In his later years he spent much of his time at Sewanee, where he died after a brief illness.
Achievements
Gailor was one of the most famous preachers during his time.
