For other notable men with this name see: Stephen Crane (disambiguation).
Stephen Crane (1709 – July 1, 1780) was an American politician from Elizabeth, New Jersey who was a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1773 to 1776. He also served in the state’s general assembly and governor’s council.
Crane was part of the Congressional delegation that opposed separation from Great Britain which caused to state’s provincial congress to replace their entire delegation in June of 1776.
It is composed of a provincial prior, priors from the convents, a delegate from each convent, and the general preachers.
The Preachers also furnished many delegate judges holding their powers either from the bishops or from the pope, but the order as such had no mission properly so called, and the legislation for the repression of heresy was in particular absolutely foreign to it.
The extreme dangers run by the Church at the beginning of the thirteenth century owing to the progress of the Albigensians and Cathari impelled the papacy to labour for their repression.
