O Lord, who in a time of turmoil and confusion didst raise up thy servant William White, and didst endow him with wisdom, patience, and a reconciling temper, that he might lead thy Church into ways of stability and peace: Hear our prayer, we beseech thee, and give us wise and faithful leaders, that through their ministry thy people may be blessed and thy will be done; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
A Prayer for the Feast Day of William White

William White was a good man, but the system of government of the American church he helped establish has proven a disaster to orthodoxy, with all manner of departures from the historic faith possible with a simple majority vote of various houses. May he rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon him.
