Chapel of Woodrow Wilson to be moved with seminary
Columbia June 16 A ancient chapel where Woodrow Wilson made his religious commitment will be moved to Atlanta this summer as the Columbia Theological Seminary of the Southern Presbyterian church moves there after 97 years in Columbia. The building housed the seminary since 1830 and witnessed the drafting of the constitution of the Southern Presbyterian church in 1843. Woodrow Wilson professed faith there at age sixteen in a 1900 prayer meeting conducted by Dr F J Brooks. His father Dr Joseph R Wilson taught at the seminary from 1870 to 1874. Architects will map the chapel and mark each wood and brick for exact return upon reconstruction.
