interesting as you would our church and all its members, were you to visit

St. John's Historical Moment
During the 1930s,
St. John’s struggled to provide the funds necessary to operate the
Parish and meet the debt payments due on the church building. Several
times during the depression the Vestry was forced to meet with the representatives
of the Standard Building & Loan Association to negotiate smaller payments
on the loan. At the same time the Rev. Rufus Morgan, the executive secretary
of the Diocese, was called as the Rector. Unable to finance the full salary
for the Rector, Rev. Morgan retained his position with the Diocese and
served as part time Rector at St. John’s. Finally on May 13, 1945
the final debt payment was made and the church building was consecrated.
Reading the Vestry
minutes during World War II one is struck by the number of resignations
from Parish officers as they left to serve their country.
