Dedicated to the Rt. Rev. Robert C. Witcher—sixth Diocesan Bishop of Long Island (1977–1991)—this conference room in the Mercer School of Theology, features a display created by the Department of Archives in the summer of 2025 to honor his service to the diocese and the wider Episcopal Church.

On the left side of the room, a display case highlights two major initiatives from Bishop Witcher’s episcopate. The first focuses on his support for the Nehemiah Plan, which constructed 5,000 new low-income homes in a blighted area of Brooklyn in 1982. The second details his efforts during the late 1980s to secure the release of captives held in the Lebanon hostage crisis.

On the right side of the room, a display case features materials from Bishop Witcher’s 1977 consecration as Bishop Coadjutor and subsequent enthronement. The collection includes the vestments he wore for his consecration, photographs, service pamphlets, a signed certificate of election, and his first address to the Convention.
