The Guild of Scholars of the Episcopal Church is a society of lay Episcopal academics, teachers, artists and professional practitioners which for many years met annually at General Theological Seminary in New York in November of each year. Since 2011, it has met in locations around the US such as Cincinnati, Albuquerque, Holy Cross Monastery in the Hudson Valley, Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and most recently at the Virginia Theological Seminary.
The guild was founded in 1938 by American philologist and medieval historian Urban T. Holmes, Jr. and has included notable members such as W. H. Auden, Cleanth Brooks, Brooks Otis, Henry Babcock Veatch, Frederick Pottle, Stringfellow Barr, George Parshall, Marshall Fishwick, Margaret Morgan Lawrence, Ursula Niebuhr, Dell Hymes, Hyatt Waggoner, Howard D. Roelofs, Hoxie Fairchild, Walter Lowrie (author), Charles Forker, and Richard W. Bailey.
