The Rev. Charles Price, Th.D. Sermon Collection

Charles P. Price (1920-1999) was an Episcopal priest, theologian, and educator whose work significantly shaped theological education and liturgical life in the Episcopal Church. Educated at Harvard College, Virginia Theological Seminary, and Union Theological Seminary, he was ordained deacon and priest in 1949 following service as an engineering officer in the United States Navy during World War II. After beginning his ministry in parish service in Pennsylvania, he joined the faculty of Virginia Theological Seminary, where he taught systematic theology, and later served at Harvard University as the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals.

In 1972, Price returned to Virginia Theological Seminary, where he held the William Meade Chair in Systematic Theology and taught theology and liturgics until his retirement in 1989. He played an important role in the Episcopal Church’s liturgical renewal as a member of the Standing Liturgical Commission, serving as the chair of the theological committee for the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Price authored and edited numerous influential works on Christian faith and liturgy.

This collection of sermons is part of the Charles Price Collection held by the VTS Archives. It contains a large number of Rev. Price's sermons from 1949 through 1999.
