St. Stephen's
Episcopal Church in Milledgeville, Georgia, 2006
On July 2, 2006, St. Stephen's
Episcopal Church in Milledgeville, Georgia held a special
service to commemorate the anniversary of the Episcopal church
in the US breaking away from the Church of England on that date
in 1789.
In the photo I am receiving communion in a
19th century challis from Fr. Don Caron of St. Stephen's
Episcopal Church in Milledgeville, GA. This same challis along
with some others was buried outside the church grounds before
Sherman's troops spent the night inside the church. The men used
the pews for firewood and poured molasses down the organ pipes
before they left.
