The first numbered pages include a defense of Reverend Mcclenachan, and plans to build a church separate from Christ Church. Entries then cover the election of trustees and a treasurer, committees to secure land and materials for a new church, lotteries to raise funds, decisions on architecture and furnishings, management of pews, and selection of wardens. Vestry minutes from 1762 start on page 21; these can also be found in the separate volume entitled "Vestry minutes, 1762-1774."

Records of marriages, baptisms and deaths start with image 46, whereupon page numbering starts anew. Marriage and baptism records include the date of the ceremony, officiant and the names of the people being married or baptized. Later baptism records also note names of parents. Death records include the name of decedent, age at time of death (or date of birth, from which it can be extrapolated), and date of death.]]> Minutes (Records)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> First Baptist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> First Baptist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church records and registers]]> Corporate minutes]]> Baptists]]> Church finance]]> Church management]]> Church committees]]> Come before them."

Other important events and topics include:

The opening of St. Peter's and the establishment of the United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's in 1761, with shared government and finances. Minutes include draft and final versions of the charter for the United Churches.

The response of the United Churches to the 1763 "Indian invasion" of the "back provinces" of Pennsylvania and subsequent correspondence with church officials from York and Cumberland Counties on behalf of "families on the frontier."

The 1763 review and approval of Reverend William Sturgeon's fulfillment of his duty as the "Catechist to the Negroe Children for the Society for Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts."

The 1772 bequest from Dr. John Kearsley that funded the development of the Christ Church Hospital for poor women and widows.

The American Revolution. Minutes from the Vestry meeting of July 4, 1776, when the Vestry resolved at the onset of the American Revolution: "Whereas the Honorable Continental Congress have resolved to declare the American Colonies to be free and independent States, In consequence of which it will be proper to omit those Petitions in the Liturgy wherein the King of Great Britain is prayed for, as inconsistent with the said Declaration. Therefore Resolved, that it appears to this Vestry to be necessary for the peace and well-being of the Churches to omit the said Petitions, and the Rector and Assistant Ministers of the United Churches are requested in the Name of the Vestry and their Constituents to omit such petitions as are above mentioned." (p. 338)

Subsequent minutes reveal effects of the war, including the loss of pew rents after many parishioners fled the city during the British occupation, the damage to church property caused by the British army, and the departure of Reverend Coombe, who could not tolerate the conflict of serving revolutionary subjects while ordained and governed by the Church of England.]]> Minutes (Records)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> St. Paul's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. Paul's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church records and registers]]> Church of England]]> Episcopalians]]> McClenachan, William, 1714-]]> Church buildings]]> Church committees]]> Church finance]]> Church fund raising]]> Churchwardens' accounts]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Cemeteries]]> Episcopal Church]]> Minutes (Records)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia]]> Society of Friends--Pennsylvania--Philadelphia]]> Quakers--Pennsylvania--Philadelphia]]> Philadelphia (Pa.)--Genealogy]]> Church management]]> Persecution]]> Corporate minutes]]> African Americans]]> Antislavery movements]]> Church committees]]> Church finance]]> Correspondence]]> Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia]]> Religious education]]> Temperance]]> Poor]]> Charity]]> Cemeteries]]> Church discipline]]> Records (Documents)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Gloria Dei Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Gloria Dei Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Corporate minutes]]> Church records and registers]]> Lutherans]]> Church management]]> Charters]]> Wrangel, Carl Magnus, -1786]]> Poor]]> Charity]]> Church finance]]> Church discipline]]> Sweden]]> Church committees]]> Cemeteries]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Lutheran Church]]> Minutes (Records)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends]]> Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends]]> Society of Friends--Pennsylvania--Philadelphia]]> Quakers--Pennsylvania--Philadelphia]]> Philadelphia (Pa.)--Genealogy]]> Church committees]]> Church discipline]]> Church finance]]> Church membership]]> Corporate minutes]]> Correspondence]]> Marriage records]]> Persecution]]> Poor]]> Charity]]> Religious education]]> Religious literature]]> Records (Documents)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends.

Topics of the meetings generally include the collection of pew rents, settlement of financial accounts, improvements to the buildings and grounds, and management of charitable funds, as well as more specific entries such as the seasonal adjustment of service times and adoption of a new version of the Psalms. Of particular interest are the minutes pertaining to the call for George Duffield to serve as their new pastor, and the resulting rift with First Presbyterian Church.

The bulk of the minutes end on page 168, and pages 174, 175 and 176, which list the books and verses read from during services, are written upside down, so run in reverse chronological order.

Note: Prior to 1797, the Trustees were called "the Committee."]]> Minutes (Records)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Second Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Second Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church records and registers]]> Corporate minutes]]> Presbyterians]]> Church finance]]> Church management]]> Church buildings]]> Church membership]]> Church discipline]]> Cemeteries]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Church committees]]> Presbyterian Church]]> Minutes (Records)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends.
