Frederick Burgess (October 6, 1853 - October 15, 1925) was bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island from 1901 to 1925.
Burgess was born October 6, 1853, in Providence, Rhode Island. He was the nephew of George Burgess, Bishop of Maine and Alexander Burgess, Bishop of Quincy. He graduated from Brown University in 1873, after which he studied at the General Theological Seminary in New York and then for one year at Oxford University in England. In 1898 Brown University granted him the Doctor of Divinity. He was ordained deacon in 1876 by Bishop William Woodruff Niles in Grace Church, Providence, Rhode Island, and priest in 1878 by Thomas M. Clark. Amongst the different parishes he served in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Detroit, he was rector of Grace Church in Brooklyn, New York from 1898 till 1901. He was elected Bishop of Long Island in 1901 and was consecrated on January 15, 1902, by the Bishop of New York, Henry C. Potter. He retained the bishopric till his death. When he died, the General Convention of the church adjourned business in his honor.[1] He was described as a High-churchman and a conservative.
