Hello friend! Just about the " Henry James" life on Wikipedia. "He was the son of Henry James, Sr., a clergyman, and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James." What is the meaning of "clergyman" in this context? Thanks a lot in advance! 31.190.10.129 (talk) 09:34, 19 August 2012 (UTC) was Henry James Sr. studied at the Princeton Theological Seminary but did not complete his studies and was never ordained. He later became an enthusiastic (but idiosyncratic) Swedenborgian, writing and lecturing on Swedenborg-flavoured theological topics. But I think "clergyman" (and "theologian", as he's described in the article Henry James, Sr.) are probably inaccurate and should be changed.

Thanks a lot in advance for your contributions on the topic!

Clarify, please[edit]

His father, a stern Presbyterian, disapproved of his religious ideas, but when the patriarch's will was broken, he became an independently wealthy man.

This does not indicate what these religious ideas were, or how he became a wealthy man. Valetude (talk) 15:14, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
