  • Interview with John L
    Interview with John L. Harrison, Jr., Esquire, by Clark Groome, for the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania Oral History Project, North Wales, Pennsylvania, November 14, 2013. CLARK GROOME: All right. You grew up as an Episcopalian? JOHN HARRISON: Yes. CG: And where did you start your life as an Episcopalian? JH: I lived in Bryn Mawr when I was born, and my family went to the Church of the Redeemer, and I was baptized there, probably in 1936, by the then rector, Canon Earp. CG: E-A-R-P? JH: E-A-R-P. CG: Okay. And then, as a kid, were you active in the church? JH: Not really. I would say that my family were people that went to church when there was a family funeral, or a wedding. And I didn’t really become very active, although by the time I was ten or twelve years old my mother thought that my brother and I should go to Sunday school wherever we lived. And typically we would be taken and left and picked up later. CG: Right. And you were confirmed, I assume? JH: I was confirmed in, I think, 1949, at the Church of the Redeemer in Bryn Mawr. Excuse me—at the Church of the Messiah in Gwynedd. Roughly, then—I could get the exact dates, if that’s important. CG: I think maybe you have. I think you may have given them to me. It’s not important. JH: But at that particular point in my growing up, we were living in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, and we went to church, by then, fairly regularly, at the Church of the Messiah in Gwynedd, where my HARRISON 2 parents had been married in 1934.

  • Areas of the Nave
    Sunday School Instructional Eucharist Submitted by Eric Hall Areas of the Nave Each area of the church has a name. As you walk through our double doors you find: Narthex The narthex is an architectural element typical of early Christian and Byzantine basilicas or churches consisting of the entrance or lobby area, usually located at the west end of the Nave, opposite the church's main altar. Traditionally the narthex was a part of the church building but was not considered part of the church proper. It is either an indoor area separated from the Nave by a screen or rail, or an external structure such as a porch. (Wikipedia) St. Philip has the glass wall and double doors. This is the area we gather in preparation for the procession. Sometimes the choir will sing an introit which is a hymn to prepare the congregation for the service. Youth Definition – The front yard of the church (Tealiah Hillmon) Nave The central space in a church, extending from the narthex to the chancel and often flanked by aisles ( dictionary.com) This is the section that the congregation sits in. Our Nave holds approximately 325 people with two side aisles and a center aisle. Youth Definition – Den or Living Room (the gathering place). Lectern A reading desk in a church on which the Bible rests and from which the lessons are read during the church service (dictionary.com), on the Epistle or right side of the chancel area. It is typically used by lay people to read the scripture lessons (except for the Gospel lesson), to lead the congregation in prayer, and to make announcements.
