Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Founding of Christ Church, Philadelphia 1695-1895 Christ Church, Philadelphia, having its potential origin in the requirement of the charter of Pennsylvania granted by King Charles II to William Penn which provided for services of the Church of England, dates its actual beginning from 1695. On November 15th of that year, the ground was purchased on which stands the present church edifice. The purchase was made by Joshua Carpenter, who, in a deed dated July 20th following, "acknowledged and declared" that his name was used in the deeds of purchase by "the special nomination and appointment of the community of the said church, and for their use and benefit," and that part of the lot of land was intended for a cemetery or churchyard, and that the church and the premises were to be perpetually appropriated and used for the public worship of God, and for the better instruction of the people inhabiting and to inhabit in Philadelphia, in the one Christian religion as it is professed in the Church of England, and established by the laws of the realm, and to no other uses whatsoever. Services according to the Book of Common Prayer had already been begun; and churchmen appealed for their rights of worship. One of the leading spirits in the embyro congregation was Colonel Robert Quary, whose gift of altar vessels of silver is still constantly used in the parish. With encouragement from Francis Nicholson, Governor of Maryland, advance was made and the first church edifice was built of substantial brick. The movement attracted the attention of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, and notably of the Rev. Thomas Bray, D. D., the earnest friend of the Anglican Church in the colonies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Relations of Christ Church, Philadelphia: With the Province of Pennsylvania, an Address Delivered at the Two Hundredth, Anniversary of Christ Church, November 19, 1895 There is a popular opinion that the Provincial Regime in Pennsylvania was marked not only by religious tolera tion, but by absolute religious freedom; that there was, during this provincial era, a kind of idyllic tranquility and harmony here, resulting from non-interference with the religious rights and opinions of those who did not agree With the ruling party. Those who hold such opinions for get that although William Penn, our founder, was the most enlightened political philosopher of his time, and one of the earliest advocates, since the days of the Emperor Con stantine, of absolute religious freedom, none of his succes sors in office held the same opinions as he. There was not a Quaker among them. They and their Deputy Governors during the whole Provincial Regime were strong adherents of the English Church, as by law established, and in an important sense special patrons of Christ Church. Their notion of other people's religious rights did not extend beyond the protection vouchsafed to Dissenters by the English Toleration Act (so called) of 1689. They held that the Quakers had no special power in this Province to enlarge the indulgence granted by that Act. The history therefore, of the comparatively small body of Episcopalians here, or of the members of Christ Church (for I use in this paper the terms as equivalent), is a history of strife for objects which we may now think trivial, but which both parties, two hundred years ago, looked upon as fundamental. It is, of course, not pleasant to recall the history of more than seventy years of religious discords but I trust that we are now far enough away from the battle - field to describe its scenes with impartiality and truth. If I am forced to rake up the ashes of our fathers, I trust that it will not be necessary to disturb them further than to throw light upon the scenes in which they were such conspicuous actors. By the great law adopted by the freemen at Upland in December, 1682, it was provided that no person now or hereafter living in the Province, who shall confess one Almighty God to be the Creator, Upholder and Ruler of the world, and professeth himself or herself obliged in con science to live peaceably and justly under civil government, shall in any wise be molested or prejudiced for his or her conscientious persuasion and practices nor shall be obliged at any time to frequent or maintain any religious worship, place or ministry, contrary to his mind, but shall fully and freely enjoy his or her liberty in that respect without any interruption or molestation. This provision, it will be observed, establishes religious toleration, not liberty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
