Title A name given to the resource Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Description An account of the resource Founded in 1695, Christ Church was the first Anglican church to be established in Pennsylvania. This fulfilled the provision outlined by King Charles II in the charter he granted to William Penn in 1681 stipulating that if twenty individuals requested an Anglican clergyman the Bishop of London would appoint one. Accordingly, thirty-nine Philadelphians came together in 1695 to form Christ Church. Located on Second Street, just north of Market Street the Church transitioned from a small frame structure in its early years to the imposing Georgian structure built from 1727-1754 that still stands on the site today. Members of the Continental Congress and early government officials worshipped here and seven signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried on Church property. When the congregation grew too large to be accommodated here the vestry built St. Peter's at the southern edge of the city in 1760 and later St. James. Those United Churches remained a unit until the 1820s and 1830s. Christ Church is an active Episcopal parish today as well as a major historic site. The records consist of vestry minutes, parish records, accounting and financial records, deeds, architectural drawings, photographs, and audiovisual materials. In addition, there are materials from parish organizations and affiliated institutions such as Christ Church Hospital, Episcopal School, Christ Church Burial Ground, and Christ Church Preservation Trust.

This fulfilled the provision outlined by King Charles II in the charter he granted to William Penn in 1681 stipulating that if twenty individuals requested an Anglican clergyman the Bishop of London would appoint one. Accordingly, thirty-nine Philadelphians came together in 1695 to form Christ Church.

Members of the Continental Congress and early government officials worshipped here and seven signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried on Church property. When the congregation grew too large to be accommodated here the vestry built St. Peter's at the southern edge of the city in 1760 and later St. James.

This sermon lays out Reverend Dorr's thoughts on Luke 4:25 and 4:26, "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow." Dorr narrates the visit of the prophet Elijah/Elias to a widow outside of Sarepta, a Phoenician town in what is now Lebanon. A severe famine has sent Israel into distress and mourning, but God directs Elijah to visit a humble unbeliever with a generous heart. Of particular interest is the travel narrative that Dorr includes in his sermon, which recalls a trip that he and his son made to the Near East where they traced Elijah's route. He made many edits to his remarks about their journey over time. The inside front cover notes five dates Reverend Dorr delivered this sermon, from 1859 to 1867.

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." Dorr urges believers to be thankful no matter their earthly circumstances. The Civil War had been going on since April, but they should be thankful for being thought worthy of going through that trial, relying on God. Dorr also comments on an especially bountiful fall harvest and continued health among the northern populations as reasons for thanks. "Annual" in the title may refer to the annual harvest, but talk of a formal celebration of thanksgiving was in the air. Spatial Coverage Spatial characteristics of the resource.

This Thanksgiving sermon, delivered in 1863, lays out Reverend Dorr's thoughts on 1 Chronicles 29:10-13, "Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel, our Father, for ever and ever. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heaven, and in the earth is Thine. Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might, and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee and praise thy glorious name." The Civil War continues, and Rev. Dorr mentions the incursion of the Confederate Army into Pennsylvania and the threat averted at Gettysburg. In a tacit comparison to Lincoln, Dorr describes David's career, rising from shepherd to king, and his rule amidst warfare and threats external and internal. Tennent also notes Lincoln's proclamation of a national Thanksgiving to be celebrated each November, which in those times would be celebrated in church on the last Thursday of November. Tenant gives many reasons for thankfulness, including: the significant victories of the North and the promise of better days to come; another good harvest; more good health; work for everyone to do; and the spirit of giving and co-operation - all as granted by God, with a longing for peace.

This fulfilled the provision outlined by King Charles II in the charter he granted to William Penn in 1681 stipulating that if twenty individuals requested an Anglican clergyman the Bishop of London would appoint one. Accordingly, thirty-nine Philadelphians came together in 1695 to form Christ Church. Located on Second Street, just north of Market Street the Church transitioned from a small frame structure in its early years to the imposing Georgian structure built from 1727-1754 that still stands on the site today. Members of the Continental Congress and early government officials worshipped here and seven signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried on Church property. When the congregation grew too large to be accommodated here the vestry built St. Peter's at the southern edge of the city in 1760 and later St. James. Those United Churches remained a unit until the 1820s and 1830s. Christ Church is an active Episcopal parish today as well as a major historic site. The records consist of vestry minutes, parish records, accounting and financial records, deeds, architectural drawings, photographs, and audiovisual materials.

In this Thanksgiving sermon, Reverend Dorr lays out his thoughts on Deuteronomy 28:1-2, "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth; And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God." The Civil War continues in a series of grinding and horrific battles, with warfare taken in new directions. Dorr describes the orderly presidential election and victory of Lincoln, whom he admires, as surpassing any battlefield victory. Dorr includes details from Lincoln's Proclamation of Thanksgiving, and lists as reasons for thankfulness the general prosperity of the North, with its increase in population by emancipation and immigration; the overall good health of its soldiers and sailors; the quantity of work that needs doing and the resolve granted by God to do what is necessary. He also pleads for peace, union, and harmony once more. Spatial Coverage Spatial characteristics of the resource.

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection documents Joseph Dobbins's charitable bequest to Christ Church's fund for distressed widows in 1789. Writing from Sherriff Hall on Wappoo, four miles from Charleston, South Carolina, Dobbins addresses Bishop William White, Rev. Robert Blackwell, and church warden Robert Towers regarding his offer to donate property for the benefit of Dr. John Kearsley's Bounty for poor distressed widows [image 1, image 3]. Dobbins specifies that he is donating a lot on 5th Street, property near the Schuylkill River (No. 4 from Schuylkill), and approximately 500 pounds held by his friend John Drinker [image 3]. In exchange, Dobbins requests a quarterly annuity of forty Spanish Mexican dollars for his lifetime, with the annuity ceasing upon his death [image 1, image 3]. The collection includes a copy of Dobbins's original letter dated January 28, 1789, along with an acknowledgment from William White, Robert Blackwell, and Robert Towers accepting the offer on behalf of the United Churches of Christ Church and St. Peters [image 3]. A subsequent letter from Dobbins dated September 8, 1789, expresses his concern about delays in finalizing the arrangement and his insistence on receiving payment in Mexican silver dollars rather than bills of exchange or depreciated paper money, noting the unfavorable exchange rates in Charleston where guineas sold at 22 shillings and cut gold at 6 shillings 8 pence per pennyweight [image 7]. Dobbins also mentions additional debts owed by Mr. Hamilton and Paul Esling that should be added to the fund [image 7].

Dobbins expresses frustration with the "unkind usage" he has received regarding the irregular payments, noting that he refused a partial payment from a Captain Williamson because a consistent payment method had not been adopted. He praises Mr. Hazlehurst for offering to advance the money but demands the recipients establish a reliable payment method through reputable agents.

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. Letter from Joseph Dobbins, written in Charleston, South Carolina, to the Right Rev. William White, D.D., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania, complaining that he has not received an annuity as expected under a contract. Dobbins states that White and two other gentlemen promised punctual quarterly payments after the first twelve months; he reports receiving $150 via Capt. Strong and being offered $160 via Capt. Williamson, but he refused until a regular quarterly payment method was adopted [image 1]. He recounts complaining to Mr. Hasselhurst, who offered to pay him the whole amount, but Dobbins declines to place himself under obligation to anyone other than the gentlemen responsible for the annuity [image 1]. He asks that matters be ordered so the money is paid according to contract by a reliable person such as Mr. Hasselhurst, “and not by Pedlers,” and addresses the letter also to Mr. Blackwell and Robt. Towers [image 2]. A later annotation notes “Joseph Dobbins 22 Decr 1787 Philada” [image 2].

Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Abstract A summary of the resource. Committee minutes and related correspondence concerning Christ Church bell ringers and Joseph Dolby, head bell ringer. On 8 July 1801, a committee met with bell ringers Joseph Dolby, Charles Hollick, Richard Thornhill, John Tister, and Caleb Offley; all except Dolby stated they were unaware of an existing contract obligating them to ring on 4 July until April 1801, and they agreed to ring annually in accordance with vestry resolutions of 5 July 1782 and 27 May 1801 [Image 1]. Dolby addresses Bishop White and the vestry of Christ Church and St. Peter's, responding to reports relayed by the Governor of Pennsylvania alleging Dolby refused to ring the bells on 4 July out of disaffection, and further alleging he was an Englishman and a Tory; Dolby asserts he was born in Philadelphia (as shown in the baptism register), served in the militia artillery early in the Revolutionary War, was disabled by a nervous fever affecting his limbs, and took the oath of allegiance in 1777, retiring to New Jersey during the British approach and returning after evacuation [Images 2-3, 5]. Additional notes include a request (11 Aug. 1801) from James Abercrombie for an order admitting the burial of John Martin Baker's 13-month-old son in Christ Church burial ground, to be carried to Dolby [Image 4], and a later note recording the birth (19 June 1800) and baptism (31 July 1808) of John Martin Baker, son of John Martin and Harriet D. Baker, with assurance of payment of charges [Images 6-7]. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA Description An account of the resource Founded in 1695, Christ Church was the first Anglican church to be established in Pennsylvania. This fulfilled the provision outlined by King Charles II in the charter he granted to William Penn in 1681 stipulating that if twenty individuals requested an Anglican clergyman the Bishop of London would appoint one. Accordingly, thirty-nine Philadelphians came together in 1695 to form Christ Church. Located on Second Street, just north of Market Street the Church transitioned from a small frame structure in its early years to the imposing Georgian structure built from 1727-1754 that still stands on the site today. Members of the Continental Congress and early government officials worshipped here and seven signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried on Church property. When the congregation grew too large to be accommodated here the vestry built St. Peter's at the southern edge of the city in 1760 and later St. James. Those United Churches remained a unit until the 1820s and 1830s. Christ Church is an active Episcopal parish today as well as a major historic site. The records consist of vestry minutes, parish records, accounting and financial records, deeds, architectural drawings, photographs, and audiovisual materials. In addition, there are materials from parish organizations and affiliated institutions such as Christ Church Hospital, Episcopal School, Christ Church Burial Ground, and Christ Church Preservation Trust.
