Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. John's Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square, in Washington, DC is one of the most unique churches in the United States. A National Historic Landmark, located just north of Lafayette Square, and in clear view of the White House, it has witnessed the presence within its walls of more notable civilian and military leaders of the United States than any other church in the nation. Apart from the White House, St. John's Church is the oldest building adjacent to Lafayette Square. It was designed, and its construction supervised, by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, a leading architect of the early national period. From its opening in October 1816, every person, beginning with James Madison, who has held the office of President of the United States has attended St. John's at least once. Several Presidents have been members. Thus, St. John's is called "the Church of the Presidents." A significant number of members of St. John's, past and present, have played very prominent roles in the public life of the United States and the city of Washington, DC. This book tells the story of this historic church from its origins to the present, while chronicling notable services held at it, and key events in the lives of distinguished Americans who were personally connected with St. John's during their residence in Washington. REVIEWS The first thing to note about this marvelous history of St. John's Church is the research. From start to finish the facts are meticulously assembled and clearly laid out to the reader. This alone makes the book worth reading. But it is far more than a collection of facts. It is the story--or rather the stories-- of St. John's Church that makes this book stand out as a true gem with very few equals in the annals of Church History. --Harry S. Stout Jonathan Edwards Professor of American Religious History Yale University Sited importantly on its corner across from the White House, St. John's Episcopal Church has served both the famous and Everyman without interruption for nearly 200 years, its architectural evolution an index of the development of the capital itself. Historian Richard Grimmett tells the story of the "Church of the Presidents" in "St. John's Church: Lafayette Square" with the painstaking accuracy of an experienced researcher. Flavored with personalities and rich anecdotes, this book begins life as a Washington classic. --William Seale Editor, White House History author of "The President's House: A History." Because St. John's Church has been so closely associated with presidents, cabinet members, powerful insiders and Washington society ... anyone interested in the compelling historical details of a slice of Washington life would want to add the book to his or her library. --Mary O. Klein Archivist, Episcopal Diocese of Maryland.

Download or read book America s Church written by Thomas A. Tweed and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Shrine in Washington, DC has been deeply loved, blithely ignored, and passionately criticized. It has been praised as a "dazzling jewel" and dismissed as a "towering Byzantine beach ball." In this intriguing and inventive book, Thomas Tweed shows that the Shrine is also an illuminating site from which to tell the story of twentieth-century Catholicism. He organizes his narrative around six themes that characterize U.S. Catholicism, and he ties these themes to the Shrine's material culture--to images, artifacts, or devotional spaces. Thus he begins with the Basilica's foundation stone, weaving it into a discussion of "brick and mortar" Catholicism, the drive to build institutions. To highlight the Church's inclination to appeal to women, he looks at fund-raising for the Mary Memorial Altar, and he focuses on the Filipino oratory to Our Lady of Antipolo to illustrate the Church's outreach to immigrants. Throughout, he employs painstaking detective work to shine a light on the many facets of American Catholicism reflected in the shrine.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church Memorial: Containing Important Historical Facts and Reminiscences Connected With the Associate and Associate Reformed Churches, Previous to Their United Presbyterian Church of North America Nor do we desire to bury all of the past. We love 'the Churches in which many of us have not only been born, but born again. They have been faithful Churches of the living God. They have contended earnestly for the truth of God. They have done good service in the cause of our dear Re deemer. And although they are now organically one, and we rejoice that it is so, yet Our hearts are full of sacred memories, and we turn with mingled emotions of joy and sorrow to the past. We remember our old ecclesiastical associations with tenderest emotion, and with the captives Of Old we are ready to say, If I forget thee, 0, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. One prominent Object in the preparation of this work was to preserve the leading facts connected with the union of these Churches. In a few years the'fathers of the Church who took an active part in these proceedings will be no more. Others will be called to carry out the principles upon which this union was formed. Various Opinions may arise as to the meaning of different acts and the design of their framers. Such we know has been the case hereto fore both in Church and State. Even the constitution of the United States is now differently interpreted; and its true meaning can be certainly determined only by the recorded sentiments of its framers. For this purpose, therefore, we have collected together the action of these Churches and the remarks on the subject of union in the different Synods, that in after years they may Speak for themselves.
