Who is this Bishop?

[AtrumVorago]

We have a photograph of a Bishop that we are trying to find information about. He can in a box with a lot of other old pictures. The other pictures are from the Chicago area. It looks to be from the 30's era. My girlfriend doing searches couldn't find anything about him and we are very interested in the history of this man. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

George Craig Stewart.


From Centenary of the Oxford Movement: Sixth Catholic Congress of the Episcopal Church (1933)

THE RIGHT REVEREND GEORGE CRAIG STEWART, D.D. L.H.D., S.T.D. The most interesting thing about the Bishop of Chicago is his amazing versatility. No matter what he turns his mind to, whether it is the theory of Einstein or the latest book on Philosophy of Religion or Gothic Architecture or the financing of a building project he does it not only well but interestingly. He was rector for 25 years of St. Luke's, Evanston where he built up a devoted congregation the largest in the diocese. His abilities as preacher and speaker are in constant demand from coast to coast. His work among college men and women has been effective in keeping them awake to the essentially spiritual constitution of the universe. He has been a delegate from Chicago to eight General Conventions of the Church, and is now the spiritual leader and administrator of a great diocese and is carrying it forward to great things. Bishop Stewart is also a member of the National Council of the church.
