St. Mark's Episcopal Church Halifax, Halifax County, NC 7 1 7 • Narrative Deseri ion Situated in the small courthouse town of Halifax in Halifax County, St. Mark's Episcopal Church, a small, board-and-batten, Carpenter Gothic building, faces east onto King Street, the town's primary thoroughfare, and sits on the southwest corner lot of the intersection of Church and King streets. This one-half acre of land was originally a part of lAThe Grove" plantation, and its owner, Mrs. Eppes, conveyed it in 1854 to the church as a gift with the stipulation that it be used only for the church and never a cemetery.l The town's early development began to the north near the Roanoke River with growth extending in a southern direction. By the mid­ nineteenth century, the town was beginning to encroach upon liThe Grove," which offered a desirable and more economical site for the new church. Today, the church stands within a predominately residential area in close proximity to two other churches on King Street and the commercial district. Centrally placed on the site, this simple board-and-batten Carpenter Gothic church, completed in 1855, stands approximately twenty-five feet from the street. A side walk extends along King Street, and a low brick wall separates it from the church grounds. This wall also frames the lot's boundaries along the northeast and southwest sides. A brick walk leads up to the front entrance and then branches to each side and extends along the side elevations to the entrances into the vestry room and sacristy, at the north and south respectively. Directly behind the church and connected by a covered walk is a modest cinder-block parish hall constructed in 1957.

  • Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross
    Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross By Lewis Wright He has instituted at Valle Crucis a monastic order . composed of persons bound to him by a vow of celibacy, poverty and obedience. He has given to the members, as their peculiar dress, a black cassock extending from the throat to the ankle. He allows to be placed on the altar a pyx, in which are reserved the remaining consecrated elements after a communion . there is used at Valle Crucis in a little manual of devotions . prayers to the Virgin Mary and the Saints. He has announced to two of his clergy an intention to send a “penitentiary” through the parishes in the Diocese to receive the confessions of the people.1 THESE CRITICISMS of the Rt. Rev. Levi Silliman Ives (1797-1867), bishop of North Carolina, were made in 1849 by George Edmond Badger, a prominent layman, lawyer and United States senator from Raleigh, North Carolina. Several accounts have been written of the life of Bishop Ives, a cradle Presbyterian who converted to the Episcopal Church. Ives served as the second bishop of North Carolina (1831-1852) and spent the last fifteen years of his life as a Roman Catholic layman (1852-1867).2 These accounts have included few details of the Society of the Holy Cross and of the bishop’s beloved mission-monastery outpost in the wilderness of the North Carolina mountains, which he called Valle Crucis Abbey.3 On an evening in late October or early November, 1847, at St.

  • One Great Fellowship of Love? Theological Convictions & Ecclesial Realities in the Racial History of the Diocese of North Carolina
    One great fellowship of love? Theological convictions & ecclesial realities in the racial history of the Diocese of North Carolina Address delivered to the Annual Convention of the Diocese The Rev. Dr. Brooks Graebner, Historiographer November 16, 2017 In Christ there is no East or West, in him no South or North, but one great fellowship of love, throughout the whole wide earth. John Oxenham [The Hymnal 1982, #529] Our diocesan racial history interweaves two strands. One is our proclamation that a Church claiming to be “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic” must make no room for racial exclusion; it’s incompatible with who we believe Christ to be, and it violates the nature of the community he came to create. Both black and white Episcopalians have embraced that core conviction and sought to live by it. The other strand is the willingness of white members of our church to countenance exclusionary and unjust practices, to minimize their ongoing impact, and to remain apathetic. This willingness has compromised our efforts to minister with African Americans, and left us ill-prepared to heed the call to racial justice. All three antebellum bishops of our diocese—John Stark Ravenscroft, Levi Silliman Ives, and Thomas Atkinson—were vigorous promoters of slave evangelization, and they did not hesitate publicly to commend those members of the church, lay and clergy, who embraced this work.1 They were especially solicitous of slaveholders who made provision for such ministrations by building plantation chapels and engaging minsters to do catechetical work with the enslaved population. In this regard, Bishop Ives’ report of his 1846 visitation to New Bern 1 John Hope Frankin, “Negro Episcopalians in Ante-bellum North Carolina” Historical Magazine of the Protestant Episcopal Church XIII.3 (September 1944) 216-234.

  • THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH in NORTH CAROLINA 1587-2015 Historical Overview the Rev
    THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN NORTH CAROLINA 1587-2015 Historical Overview The Rev. Dr. N. Brooks Graebner Historiographer, Diocese of North Carolina The story of the Episcopal Church in North Carolina can be traced back to the very first English efforts at colonization during the reign of Elizabeth I. In August 1587, at what is now called “the Lost Colony” on Roanoke Island, the Native American Manteo and the English infant Virginia Dare were baptized. Permanent English settlement did not occur until the mid-17th century, however, and it wasn’t until 1701 that the colonial assembly passed its first Vestry Act, thereby making the Church of England the officially sanctioned faith in North Carolina. This act provided for the creation of precincts – or parishes – administered by local vestries, and the precincts of Chowan, Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Currituck along Albemarle Sound and Pamlico precinct in Bath County date to this time. Principally through levying taxes and fines, colonial vestries in each parish were called upon to make provision for church buildings and ministers, oversee the parish poor, and serve other delegated political functions.1 Thus, the Church of England enjoyed a privileged status and legal advantages not enjoyed by other religious groups in 18th century North Carolina. But these legal provisions by no means guaranteed a strong and vibrant Church, and the history of Colonial Anglicanism in North Carolina is largely a study in frustration. From the outset, many inhabitants were at best indifferent—and often opposed—to the establishment of the Church of England. Already in the late 17th century, the region around Albemarle Sound had become a haven for Quakers, who launched a campaign to have the vestry act repealed.2 And in 1 Robert J.

Dr. Wilmer, has long been highly and justly esteemed by the members of oux Church, as a brief, yet comprehensive and instructive exposition of its Ministry, Doctrines, Discipline, and Worship. We have many able works on the Consti- tution and external order of the Church, and numerous ex- cellent treatises on doctrinal and practical religion ; but a work devoted to the united interests of the Gospel and the Church to the defence of both evangelical truth, and apostolical order;-* as it had long been a desideratum before the appearance of the admirable compendium now pre- sented to the public in a revised, and, it is hoped, improved it will form ; so probably not soon be superseded in ge- neral estimation by any similar publication.

Colonial parish vestries were charged with providing for church buildings and ministers by levying taxes and nes, but they faced hostility from Quakers, Presbyterians and other non-Anglican settlers. Moreover, parishes were geographi- cally large, settlements sparse and travel dicult. But the single greatest barrier to the growth and development of the Church was the chronic shortage of qualied ministers.

  • 1 Duncan Cameron's Contributions to the Episcopal Church, 1817-1842
    Duncan Cameron’s Contributions to the Episcopal Church, 1817-1842: A Profile in Lay Leadership. An Address Delivered at the Annual Homecoming Service St. Mary’s Chapel, Orange County August 24, 2008 The Rev. Brooks Graebner, Ph.D. Rector of St. Matthew’s, Hillsborough, & Historiographer of the Diocese of North Carolina In November 1908, Annie Ruffin Collins wrote to her brother, Bennehan Cameron, recollecting their grandfather’s signal contributions to the Episcopal Church. She wrote to express her complete agreement with her brother’s desire to honor their grandfather with these words: “that Judge [Duncan] Cameron was the Chairman of the Committee of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church, which established the General Episcopal Seminary in New York City, for the sons of this Church, & he founded St. Mary’s school for the education of Her daughters, proving himself a son, in sympathy with the work of his revered Father, the Rev. John Cameron.”1 Annie Collins wrote these words because her brother’s desire so to honor their grandfather with a memorial tablet at Old Blandford Church in Petersburg, Virginia, had become a source of contention. The descendants of the Rev. Dr. Aldert Smedes, the educator who started St. Mary’s School for girls and ran it for 35 years, took exception to the use of the word ‘Founder’ to describe Duncan Cameron’s contribution. To the Smedes family, Cameron and his descendants were simply the landlords who happened to own the school property and lease it to the Smedes’s. When the trustees of the St. Mary’s School and Bishop Cheshire went on record supporting the Smedes family interpretation, going so far as to pass a resolution stating “that the Rev.
