St Mark's Guild Mrs THE HISTORY OF AN OLD CHURCH N THE JUNE ISSUE of thr "Historical Magazine", Mr. Nelson R. Burr presented a most excellent article entitled, "Adven- tws in Parish History". Dr. Burr is on the staff of the Library of Congress, Washington, D. C., and has written a num- ber of parish histories. In his article he gives some very good ad- vice, most of which I have been unable to follow. I have committed what he calls the "Sin of great haste". I have attempted to write a parish history in a few months instead of a few years. I have not had available the Vestry Minutes of the parish, with the exception of a few years, which is an indispensable source of information. I have not had personal journals or diaries which are another indis- pensable source. In short, I have had to depend entirely on the Journals of the Diocesan Conventions, the former town newspaper (The Public Press), a history of the County. and the memory of some of the older parishioners. This brochure makes no pretense at being a completely inte- grated history of the parish. It is primarily a source book, which can be used, I believe, to construct a real parish history in the next few years. A parish history should take into account the town and its people, its background, its industry, and many other factors, which has not been done in this short history. Instead of analyizing and restating many things in this history, I have given exact quotations from the Journals, the Public Press, and Parish Records. I have tried to arrange them in a chronological and coherent manner, leaving the interpretation mainly to the reader. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS WANT TO THANK publicly all those who have helped to make this little history possible: Mr. M. R. Butler for much preliminary correspondence, when the booklet was &st decided upon; Mrs. Donald Lebo for the greater part of the research in the Public Press; Mr. Homer Smith for almost all of the typing of the manuscript and a11 of the work of photography; Mr. and Mrs. George Neff for help in much of the local history and the history of the early period; Miss Helen Kapp, who as a life-long member of the parish was able to give many valuable suggestions; Mts. G. L. VanAlen for old Scrap Book and letters. I am greatly indebted to View Showing the Kapp window in Its New Position Mr. C. Warren Gutelius for his many kindnesses, and in loaning the valuable Ales of the Public Press for this study. May I also thank Above the Altar all of those who have given me many little bits of history from vari- ous periods as it came to their minds. Without their kind help and cooperation even this modest little brochure could not have been put forth. WILLIAM H. WEITZEL Vicar of Northumbe~land F ONE were to go to the Court House in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, and look in Deed Book A, Northumberland County, under the date: August 29, 1772, he would find an original land grant to "The Church of En&m#' . "For the use of erecting Churches and places of worship and for no other use and purpose whatever, except burying grounds free from ground rents and other encumbrances forever." It would be unfair to the reader of this booklet to attempt a history of the Church in Northumberland, without saying a few words by way of background. What is today known as the "Episcopal Church" was in 1772 known ae the "Church of England". When the Church states in the Preface to the "Book of Common Prayer": "that this Church is far from intending to depart from the Church of England in any essential point of doctrine, discipline, or worship; or further than local circumstances require," it is said with a very definite pur- pose. It is a statement to the effect that we are a continuous part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Although there are over 250 different denominations in this country, and many conflicting religious beliefs, there are only two main views of the Church, as a Church. There is the view that the Church is a divine organism, the Mysti- cal Body of Christ, founded by Him, given power and authority by Him, and intended to continue until the end of the world. Christ appointed twelve men, Apostles, to carry on the work of the Church after His Death and Resurrection and Ascension. "As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you." St. John 20:21. Those who hold this view maintain that the Apostles were the flmt Bishops and that their successors continue in the Church today. It b main- tained that the Church is the Steward of the Mysteries of God, the Holy Sacra- ments, which are necessary for salvation. The second view of the Church is that the Church is a voluntary society of likeminded believers who want to worship God in their own way. Generally speaking, they do not believe in such a thing as the "continuity" of the Church, the necessity of a priesthood, or sacraments. Under this view, a new church can be started at any time, merely by having a group who would like to do things in the same way. The Episcopal Church is committed to the first view, as its name shows. "J3piiopos" means "Bishop", and the Episcopal Church maintains that the Bishops, as the successors of the Apostles, are essential to the very being of the Interior After Remodeling Church. The Church, after the Resurrection and Ascension of our Lord, burst out upon the world and spread across the Mediterranean to the southern coast of France. Erom there it soon found its way across France to England. The Church was in England by at least 315 A. D. as the records of the Council of a Arles, France, shows that British Bishops were present at that Council. The Church of England had a foundation independent of Rome. It was not, until 595.A. D. that St. Augustine was sent to England by Pope Gregory. .The British Christians had been driven back into the mountains by the invasion of the Angles and the Saxons in circa 455. The British Christians and the mission of St. Augustine working together evangelized the country, and the two groups came together in what was known hereafter as the "Ecclesia Anglicana".

  • Founding of the Episcopal Church, Title Page
    Founding of the Episcopal Church A Series of Six Articles Plus an Epilogue In the Newsletter of All Souls’ Episcopal Church, Stony Brook, NY 2007-08 Tony Knapp The text of each article is in the public domain. All rights to the illustrations are retained by the owners, who are listed in the references. Founding of the Episcopal Church, Part I Note from the Editor This is the first in a series of six articles containing some background information about the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion that affects Episcopalians in the United States today. The topic is the founding of the Episcopal Church, and the time period of the story is the 1770s and the 1780s. The Revolutionary War forced at least a partial cut in ties of the Church of England in the United States with that in England. The process of thereafter creating a unified Episcopal Church in the new country involved surprisingly great differences in values, differences that at times must have seemed unbridgeable. It might be tempting to think that the formation of the church government ran parallel to the formation of the civil government, but it did not. The issues were completely different. In church organization some people wanted top-down management as in Great Britain, while others wanted bottom-up management as in the theory behind the new United States. Some wanted high-church ritual, while others wanted low-church ritual. Some wanted maximum flexibility in the liturgy, while others wanted minimum flexibility. The six articles describe the process of reconciling these values.

  • The History Christ Church
    The History Of Christ Church Pottstown, Pa. Compiled by MORISON BLAKE, USNR-RET. + 1964 1846 1964 FOREWORD In compiling the history of a church many sources must be sought out and consulted. The newspaper clippings collected over a long period of time by the late Frederick W. Ancona have been of inestimable help. The History of Christ Church written and privately printed by the late William Herbert Price has suggested many areas to explore in even more detail then he was able to do at the time of his writing. Our parent church, St. Gabriel’s of Douglassville, published recently, a monograph of its history and through the courtesy of the Rector, Reverend Lloyd L. Wolf, a copy was given to Christ Church to aid in obtaining the background of our heritage. The Pottstown Mercury has been most generous in permitting incorporation of items appearing in its pages concerning Christ Church, which are of value in the history of a church. Too much cannot be said for the assistance of the staff of the Pottstown Public Library in making available sources of collateral Pottstown history which fitted the community activities of Christ Church.

  • Who Was Bishop Samuel Seabury? by the Rev
    Who was Bishop Samuel Seabury? By The Rev. Jay Cayanyang Eternal God, you blessed your servant Samuel Seabury with the gift of perseverance to renew the Anglican inheritance in North America: Grant that, joined together in unity with our bishops and nourished by your holy Sacraments, we proclaim the Gospel of redemption with apostolic zeal; through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Samuel Seabury was born on November 30, 1729, in North Groton, Connecticut (present day Ledyard and near Gales Ferry where Bishop Seabury Anglican Church is located). His father, also known by the same name, was the local Congregational minister. Shortly after Seabury was born, his father resigned his pastorate to pursue Holy Orders in the Church of England. While his father was away, Seabury’s mother, Abigail died. After ordination, his father returned to minister in New London, Connecticut under the banner of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Later, the elder Seabury remarried and moved to an assignment in Hempstead, Long Island where under his father’s tutelage as young boy, Samuel Seabury and his brother Caleb prepared for college. As such, Samuel Seabury grew up in home a life that was greatly shaped church life and the Book of Common Prayer. Samuel Seabury studied at Yale College and afterwards returned home to Long Island to study medicine and assist his father in a nearby town as a catechist. Eventually, through the encouragement and support of his father, he went on for further study in Edinburgh, Scotland.
