Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. In 1695, Christ Church was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was an Anglican church in a decidedly Quaker colony. But it survived through the years leading up to the Revolution when the congregation again found themselves in the minority. But not only did they survive, they earned themselves a leading role in the formation of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Over the next 200 years, they dealt with wars, social movements, changing demographics, and other problems. This book chronicles those highs and lows in the church's history for its 300th birthday. Included are photographs, illustrations, maps, chapter notes, a bibliography, and an index. This copy is clean and solid. Seller Inventory # 003575
