interlibrary loan? I don't have this one.
Judy,
This book was published in 1995. It is a very good book on the history of
the church during its beginning, through the revolutionary war and to the
present.
The history of Philadelphia is very interesting. In most aspects it was a
seed environment for the American attitude of self determination, friendship and
openmindedness. William Penn Jr. was, in essence, a hippie. His father was
an important admiral in England who had helped the Stewarts return to the
throne. He had been paid well by the Monarchy for his services. He wanted Jr. to
go to college and become somebody important. Jr. rebelled all the way, and
decided to come to America to live in order to get away from Sr. Sr.
eventually died and left Jr. all his money, which Jr. requested be given him as land
in America. Jr. used it to establish a prototype American City with all
different denominations of Protestants, Jews, and Catholics, and whatever else, free
to live and worship as they chose. He thought they should each have a lot of
land and designed the city to be spread out. However, because of the
indians, and other dangers, the people divided up they land, sold it off and
eventually created a very people packed community.
Christ Church was organized by a bunch of Anglicans in a Quaker community who
eventually designed the rules for the present American Episcopal Church. I
am wondering why Evan and Catherine had Mary (and maybe David) baptised in this
church because they were Presbyters I believe. At least that is what Moses,
Rees, and Mary were in Mecklenburg. Interestingly enough, the church they
were part of organizing in NC was called "Philadelphia" Presbyterian Church. The
leaders of the church were schooled at, what is now, Princeton. My husband's
father was a Presbyterian minister trained at Oxford in England and Princeton
in NJ. He had come from a Congregationalist (Presbyterian) family in Wales.
You might be able to get the Gough book on interlibrary loan, I don't know.
Happy Halloween!
Martha
