A
Centennial Historical Moment
100
years ago at St. John's
As
early as 1907 Episcopalians living in Shandon attempted to start a Sunday
School in a small school building at the corner of
Lee and Queen Streets. While this first attempt did not succeed,
it laid the groundwork for the initial meetings to establish a Parish
in Shandon in 1911. On September 13, 1911 a meeting was held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Edmund R. Heyward on Maple Street . The Rev. Charles E. Woodson,
the Rector of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church presided at this meeting.
This meeting appointed three committees. The first, composed of
George B. Reeves, E.W. Crouch, Robert F. Jenkins and A.C. Allen, was asked
to look into the feasibility of buying a lot. The second committee,
of Edmund R. Heyward, Benjamin R. Heyward, W.L. Bennett and A.C. DePass,
was asked to see about securing the use of the Knights of Pythias Hall
on Devine Street for holding afternoon services. The third committee
of three ladies, Mrs. Robert F. Jenkins, Mrs. Stephen Prevost and Miss
Geneva Edwards, was appointed to raise funds toward buying a lot for the
building.
The
official meeting of what would become St. John's Episcopal Church was
held at the Knights of Phythias on Devine Street on October 11, 1911.
