    Collected Notes on CHRIST CHURCH, BROAD CREEK and HER NEIGHBORS. by Henry H. Hutchinson, 1963. INTRODUCTION Old Christ Church, sometimes known as Broad Creek Church, is lo­ cated about two miles east of Laurel, Sussex County, Delaware, and is in Broad Creek Hundred. It is on the south bank of Chipman's Pond, which is on the north fork of Broad Creek, sometimes called Gray's Branch. Since it is what might be called the "Mother Church" of a number of other Epis­ copal churches in southwestern Sussex, we have made this attempt to col­ lect as many facts, traditions (and possibly a few myths), pertaining thereto as we could find in books, pamphlets, newspapers, church and ::r: u court records, and stories or traditions handed down by "old timers" in 0:: ::::i the neighb,,rhood. These we have condensed as much as possible while still ::r: u giving as many facts and records as will give a clear picture of our 1--t Cf) findings. H 0:: Public services are held there on Whitsunday every year, and ::r: offerings at that time are used for the maintenance of the building and u Q the property. Visits at other times by parties interested in antiquities ..-1 0 can be arranged through the vestrymen or rector of St. Philip's Church, u..

Catherine Downing Religious life in co~onial Delaware was so closely allied to its political history that, in order to understand why some denominations disappeared and others flourished, it is necessary to recall by what manner of people the colony was founded. In 1631 the Dutch settled at Swanendael, "Valley of the Swans", present Lewes, but the entire colony was massacred by Indians. The Swedes came next in 1638 to the area of Wilmington. In 1651 the Dutch returned to Delaware, this time settling at New Amstel (New Castle), and in 1655 seized control of the Swedish colony. In 1664 both Swedes and Dutch were overthrown by the EngUsh, who maintained control until Dela­ ware became a state in 1776. With each group of settlers sent from a European cowitry under the auspices of the governing authority, the state religion was a part of the colonization plan. Just as the colony was governed by the Mother country, so was the church controlled and fostered by the governing church body of that country which supplied the ministers and nost of their support.
