LUKE S EPISCOPAL CHURCH EPISCOPAL CHURCH 1753 1953 By William S. Powell Salisbury, N. C. St. Luke's Episcopal Church 1953 Copyright 1953 By William Stevens Powell Div.S. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To the Rev. W. Moultrie Moore, Jr., I owe thanks for first encouraging me in my efforts to make a study of the history of St. Luke's. His faith in my ability persuaded the Vestry to set aside funds several years ago for publishing my findings in this form. In addition to him, two other former rectors, the Rev. Thaddeus A. Cheatham and the Rev. Edward B. Guerry, and the present rector, the Rev. Thorn W. Blair, have assisted me in various ways. Manuscript and printed source material was readily made avail- able to me by Miss Anne Hobson, parish secretary; Miss Mar- garet Bell, custodian of many of the records compiled by Dr. Murdoch; Miss Mary Henderson and Mrs. Lyman Cotten, from family records in their possession; the Southern Historical Col- lection, University of North Carolina; the Department of Ar- chives and History, Raleigh; the North Carolina Collection, Uni- versity of North Carolina Library; and the Church Commission, London. Some of the cuts used in illustrating this work were loaned by the Rev. William Way, Charleston, S. C; the Rev. I. Harding Hughes, Raleigh; and W. Preston Barber, Cleveland. Special thanks also are due Mrs. Hope S. Chamberlain for gracious permission to quote from her book, This Was Home.

  • 1 Notes Toward a History of Christ Church Parish 1900
    NOTES TOWARD A HISTORY OF CHRIST CHURCH PARISH 1900 - 1960 PART I 1 PART I Dr. Edwin S. Lindsey's Centennial History of St. Episcopal Church, 1953, suggests that about 100 members of 81. Paul's asked permission to start a new Church and thus paved the way for the beginning of a new Parish on the east side of town. This may very well be true, for two of the early documents that I find concerning the beginnings of Christ Church are lists of donors who “agree to give our earnest support to the new parish and contribute the amount set opposite our names for the annual support of the same.” There are about 44 names (more or less) on the two lists. Considering that wives and children came along with quite a few of the men whose names are listed, this would have meant close to a hundred people. One of the two lists of donors is dated “November 1900.” The other is undated, but is very likely a. continuation of the first list. Copies of both are included as Section 1 of the appendices. Among the few early documents concerning Christ Church there is a letter from Bishop Gailor to Professor J. R. Baylor concerning the forming of a new Parish in Chattanooga. This letter is of such import that it is reproduced in full. Diocese of Tennessee Office of the Bishop Sewanee, Tennessee November 9, 1900ii My Dear Mr. Baylor: I have your letter and hasten to reply to it this morning before I go away.
