Richard Heber Newton (31 Oct. 1840-19 Dec. 1914) was a prominent American Episcopalian priest and writer. For many years rector of All Souls' Protestant Episcopal Church in New York City (1869-1902). He was a leader in the Social Gospel movement, a supporter of Higher Criticism of the Bible, and sought to unify Christian churches in the United States.[1] In 1883 he was accused of heresy[1] for a series of sermons later published in a book "The Right and Wrong Uses of the Bible". He was again accused in 1884 and 1891 but the bishop, Henry Codman Potter refused to go forward.[2] In 1903 he briefly served as first and last pastor of Stanford Memorial Church at Stanford University.[3]
