  • Perry County, Indiana, a History
    "To make the past present, to bring the present near' — Macaulay FOREWORD As an author's privilege is conceded him the right to speak of difficulties met with, of obstacles overcome, in the preparation of his completed work. Yet is it not more agreeable to recall the pleasures encountered along the roadside, the cordial assistance so cheerfully given, the spirit of ready helpfulness which ever brightened the most toilsome research ? While individual acknowledgment of such favours cannot possibly be made, it is hoped that none among those whose aid has contributed toward the material of this volume will, on such score, deem its writer un- appreciative. So marked has been the kindness shown, so encour- aging the words of loyal confidence expressed, that the twelvemonth of its actual writing has taught its writer in many unexpected ways the genuine quality of Perry County friendship, which reaches across all boundary lines to lend a helping hand. It is believed that this same warmheartedness will make every allowance due for unavoidable shortcomings or omissions in the story now offered each one who may care to read.

  • St. Paul's Episcopal Church Richmond, Indiana
    Welcome to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Richmond, Indiana Figure 1 Our red door welcomes everyone to St. Paul’s Episcopal at 800 North A Street in Richmond, Indiana, the oldest public building in town still being used for its original purpose. Rector Search St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Richmond, Indiana, is excited to be searching for a full-time Rector. Thank you for visiting our profile. We hope it will provide the information you need to consider applying for the position. We miss having a parish priest. From 2013 to 2016, we shared a priest with St. James Episcopal Church in New Castle, Ind., about 25 miles away. Though that arrangement did bring us closer to St. James, it also brought frustrating problems with scheduling (both weekly services and High Holy Days) and a lack of clarity about pastoral responsibilities between services. Shortly after the priest left, the th figure 2 Carolyn MacDowell and Alexis, daughter of search for the 11 Bishop of the Diocese of Brown and Petra Mujete, share a laugh during coffee Indianapolis began and that became the focus of hour. both the diocese and the parish. For the past three years, we have been well served by a small number of excellent supply priests, but the time has come to look for a more permanent arrangement. With the support of Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows and the diocese, St. Paul’s will be utilizing a portion of its endowment to fund the calling of a full-time rector. We take this step-in faith, recognizing the need for a new season of leadership.

Their value to the student of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries cannot be overemphasized, since the political, literary and apologetical Issues of those periods were largely debated and won in pamphlet warfare. The Church historian, moreover, is so much indebted to early leaflets for many basic facts that an analyzed collection of this kind must invariably stimulate research in the department of parochial origins and growth. The original plan called for a terminal cross-reference index of parishes, persons, issues and themes, but lack of opportunity made that part of the proj- ect impossible at this time, (it may, of course, be undertaken later on as a separate venture.) The compilation as it stands is divisible into three sec- tions! Pages I. The Main Index, arranged by authors or principal subjects 3-156« II* Addenda to the Main Index 157-158, III. Index of Titles for which authorship could not be established 158-169. I am indebted to my Trinity College students for help with the task at various stages.
