2018 Capital Campaign JANUARY 28, 2018 175Th Anniversary Christ Church Pelham 1843 – 2018 THE PARISH OF CHRIST THE REDEEMER PELHAM MANOR , NEW YORK 2018 Capital Campaign JANUARY 28, 2018 175th Anniversary Christ Church Pelham 1843 – 2018 Almighty God, whose loving hand hath given us all that we possess: Grant us grace that we may honor thee with our substance, and, remembering the account which we must one day give, may be faithful stewards of thy bounty, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. - BCP Honoring our past, celebrating our present, planning for our future 2018 marks the 175th Anniversary of Christ Church. We offer our prayers and praises to Almighty God for sustaining our parish through the generations, and we give thanks for the ministry and leadership of our founder Robert Bolton and all who have made Christ Church their spiritual home. We will be marking this milestone with worship and celebratory events, at which we will gather as a community to honor our past, celebrate our present and plan for our future. We are the beneficiaries of the prayers, hard work, stewardship and love of those who have come before us. They are the reason we have this beautiful space in which we can gather, to worship our Lord Jesus Christ, share fellowship and be in ministry together to do God’s work. We are now called by God to ensure that future generations will find a spiritual home in this beautiful, historic church. One of the best ways in which we can honor our heritage is by making a commitment to the future of Christ Church. Over the past ten years, we have invested a significant amount of time and capital, repairing and restoring many areas of our buildings. This has included replacing the roof on the Parish Hall, made possible through the generosity of one of our families, and replacing the roof on the Old Parish House, through the generous gifts of many parish families. There is more work to be done… the roof over the church, other roof components, and a growing list of deferred maintenance projects await. As part of the 175th Anniversary Celebration, we are pleased to announce a Capital Campaign. Our goal is to raise the capital to fund these essential repairs. Over the coming months, the committee will be reaching out to everyone in the Christ Church family and many in the community, to explore ways in which we can work together to reach our goal. Gifts can take many forms, and can be made in one payment, or over time. Every gift is important and no gift is too small. The most important gifts you can give are your participation and your prayers for a successful campaign. By joining our parish family in this initiative, you are honoring the past, celebrating the present, and planning for the future of Christ Church. Thank you for your support, stewardship and prayers for Christ Church throughout this 175th Anniversary year and beyond. “Our little church gets apace. We have had a bell given this week, and the Bible and prayer-books and handsome organ. It is wonderful how many things seem put in our hands.

We would have only words and pictures on a page, if we can’t fill in the periphery with context then how will we understand anything? If they don’t tell us what to enjoy, how to correctly enjoy it, then how will we know? Who is right and who is mad? Whose ideas are poisonous and wrong? Call to arms! Stop that! Help me!

We are a theologically progressive and adaptable church with a friendly atmosphere. Our lay leaders strive to be truly representative of St. Paul’s and want to know what the people think. There is a hunger for spiritual growth under the leadership of a Rector who can continue the tradition of bringing the best out of St. Paul’s worshiping community. The resources we bring include a beautiful nineteenth century Carpenter Gothic church building which can seat 125 persons – up to 150 on special occasions. The undercroft provides meeting and classroom space. This is complemented by the Parish Hall and kitchen. A New England salt-box house, the former parsonage, built in the1790s, disassembled and shipped round the horn in 1868, provides office and additional meeting space. The congregation counts 240 members with an average Sunday attendance of 115 at two services.

  • Design Option #2 – Construction of an Undercroft Only
    DESIGN OPTION #2 – CONSTRUCTION OF AN UNDERCROFT ONLY In December 2011, the Vestry directed the Steering Committee to explore three alternative designs – renovation of Baxter House; construction of only a new undercroft under the Parish Hall; and, construction of only a new second floor above the Parish Hall. This is a report on the second of those options, construction of only a new undercroft under the Parish Hall. The Design This design calls for full excavation under the Parish Hall. This would necessitate the removal and replacement of the Parish Hall floor. That space would be built out into a new undercroft area, completely committed to our clergy and staff offices. As shown in the accompanying drawings, there would be private offices for the Rector, Assistant Rector and Director of Music; open space work areas for the Youth Director, Parish Administrators and Answering Angels, a conference room, a copy room and an archives/file room. Because the stairs and elevator would not be moved from their current location, there would be no renovation of the current undercroft stair/elevator foyer; however, the current restrooms would be renovated to allow access to the new undercroft. Assessment On the positive side: . all of our programmed office space would fit in the new undercroft; . it would be possible, if we chose, to do some renovations to the parish hall and kitchen; . the current estimated cost of $860,000 in direct construction costs and total project cost of $2.3 million, when compared with the total expected revenue from the campaign and the sale of Baxter House, would give us some money for additional renovations (for example, redecorating of the Parish Hall and renovation of the kitchen) and/or capital improvements; and, .

  • Wells Cathedral, but ‘We Had a Very Listed Building Control
    WELLS 01 PROJECT ARCHITECT: CATHEDRAL Martin Stancliffe, New entry cloister, Education and Music Purcell Miller Tritton Resource Centre, chapter house CATHEDRAL ARCHITECT: undercroft, works yard Peter Bird In some ways, the great medieval cathedrals are dinosaurs: creations of another era, fascinating, impressive and inspiring – but ill-equipped for the demands of the twenty-first century. Yet their continued significance is not to be doubted. Wells attracts some 470,000 visitors a year,170,000 of whom attend one of the 1,730 services, concerts, educational visits and other events organised by the cathedral. That’s almost five events a day, each with its own logistical demands, each attracting a different public. So it is easy to understand why the chapter at Wells had, by the late 1990s, begun to feel as if they were reaching a kind of evolutionary crossroads. There was no safe accommodation for visiting school groups, no disabled access to many areas of the cathedral church itself, and no covered route to the visitors’ toilets. The cathedral shop and restaurant occupied one walk of the medieval cloister; part of the Song School filled another. Girl choristers practised in the chapter house undercroft, which had otherwise become a large storeroom; choirs of both sexes robed here, too. Child protection legislation and the Disability Discrimination Act increased the imperative for change. The status quo was untenable. It took some time for the right solution to emerge. The first scheme was opposed by several consultees. It took all the negotiation skills of the cathedral authorities and planning advisors, including English Heritage and the CFCE, to arrive at the eventual answer – a design which balanced the building’s extraordinary significance with the needs of modern users and which was capable of attracting consent and funding.

  • THE TWELFTH-CENTURY AISLED HALL of LEICESTER CASTLE: a RE-ASSESSMENT Nick Hill
    THE TWELFTH-CENTURY AISLED HALL OF LEICESTER CASTLE: A RE-ASSESSMENT Nick Hill A recent programme of research, accompanied by archaeological excavation and dendrochronology, has confirmed the Great Hall of Leicester Castle as the earliest known standing aisled hall in Britain, now tree-ring dated to 1137–62. It was built for Earl Robert II of Leicester, one of the greatest magnates of the period, probably in the 1150s when he was at the height of his powers. The form of the main twelfth-century roof structure, with timber arcades and a former clerestorey, was established in previous work of the 1980s. The current study has added detailed analysis of the external masonry walls, including the uncovering of two service doorways. Archaeological excavation established that the aisle posts were originally earth-fast. Drawing on earlier documentary study, a revised reconstruction of the original building form is proposed, relating the upper roof structure to the original masonry walls, aisles and floor level. Evidence indicates that a small service building was attached to the north gable, with a detached chamber block located to the south. The relationship of Leicester to other early aisled halls is also explored. INTRODUCTION The Great Hall of Leicester Castle is a remarkable survivor. Of the rest of the extensive castle buildings, which reached their heyday under John of Gaunt in the late fourteenth century, little remains except for parts of two gatehouses. The Great Hall itself underwent major alteration in the early sixteenth century, was entirely re- fronted in the 1690s, subdivided internally in 1821, and further altered and extended in 1858.

  • Other Issues and Questions
    VISION 2020 PROJECT: OTHER ISSUES AND QUESTIONS How is our commitment to sustainability being achieved? One of our goals, from the beginning, has been to maximize our sustainability. We have explored three ways to do that. First, we are fully committed to including solar energy by placing solar panels on the reconstructed south roof of the Parish Hall. We have included that in our plans and have initial approval from the Commission on Fine Arts and the Historic Preservation Review Board. We have identified potential vendors who will install and maintain at no initial cost to us so long as we purchase the resulting power from them and enable them to use our energy tax credits. Second, we are fully committed to using sustainable materials, furnishings and building processes. We also have included money in the proposed budget to refurbish Parish Hall windows as a way to “tighten our envelope.” Third, we have explored the possibility of geothermal energy. Because of our small footprint in an urban space, there are very real constraints on our ability to do that. We also have not as yet found a vendor who will install at no initial cost to us, similar to solar. We are continuing to work with Pamela Blumgart and Therese Dorau of the Green Lions to explore possibilities. Will we have more or less space than we now do? In the “undercroft only” scenario, we would have less space than we now have, losing the equivalent of the Penniman and Gregory Rooms in Baxter House. In the “second floor” scenario, we would have slightly more space than we now have and would replace Baxter House in its entirety with more efficient space.
