Produktbeschreibung

This is a nontraditional story of the people of an Episcopal parish that was born in center city Philadelphia in 1847 not many decades after the American Episcopal Church broke with the Church of England. By distinct choice, Saint Marks founders built an Anglican church, feeling that the Church of England journeyed too far from its Anglo-Catholic roots. These Victorian-era people and those who followed them gave magnificent gifts abundantly to their church. But they also built, operated, and staffed missions, chapels, and churches in Philadelphia and the nation. They could, did, and still do have an impact beyond their parish. This is their story.

Autorenporträt

Gerald Klever became enchanted with the stories of the people of Saint Mark's Church. Evidence of their bounteous giving and mission funding was obvious, but who were they beyond their gifts? He compiled all kinds of interesting stories as he dug ever deeper using the church's archives and Philadelphia's numerous historical research facilities. His skills as a researcher for his PhD from the University of Chicago, interest in people as training officer for the Peace Corps, and writing as a journalism major guided him. His last book, "As It Was Written: The New Testament in Chronological Order," was published by Xlibris in 2008.
