EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the revered figure of Reverend Sam Brown Wylie (1773-1852), an influential Irish-American churchman of the 19th century. Born in County Down, Northern Ireland, Wylie immigrated to the United States in his youth and dedicated his life to the Presbyterian Church. He is best known for his role as the founder and first president of Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Established in 1836, Union Theological Seminary was a pioneering institution that aimed to provide rigorous theological education for future ministers. Wylie's vision for the seminary was to foster intellectual and spiritual growth, as well as to promote social justice and interdenominational unity. His leadership and commitment to these ideals laid the foundation for Union Theological Seminary's reputation as a premier center for theological education and progressive thought. In this photograph, Wylie is depicted in the prime of his life, with a serious yet compassionate expression that reflects his deep commitment to his faith and his calling as a teacher and leader. His attire, consisting of a simple black suit and white collar, underscores his role as a churchman and scholar. The image serves as a testament to Wylie's enduring legacy as a trailblazing figure in American religious history, whose influence continues to be felt in the present day.
