St Marys Episcopal church closes in New York landmark
The New York landmark St Marys Episcopal church built in 1825 has closed and a new large structure is planned to be ready for use in September. A choir of 260 is being formed for the new Cathedral of St John the Divine, though it won’t be required until the crossing is completed, likely two years hence. Preservation steps are noted for the Church of the Tory Family in Cahokia, Illinois, dating to 1683, now decaying. The oldest Baptist church in the south at Charleston, South Carolina, founded in 1685 by Rev William Screvon, is led by Rev Ianey Hoge. A reader for a New York publishing house quotes a passage about Dunete and a list of unrelated items follows.
