Meeting minutes for the general parish and church council of Gloria Dei are interspersed with these personal accounts, as well as copies of letters to and from various kings, queens, bishops and archbishops in Europe.

The last third of the book consists of financial accounts kept by Gloria Dei. Sums recorded include Sunday collections, special fundraising efforts, and expenditures for church repair, ministers' travel, and support of the poor and sick in the congregation.

Note: The vast majority of records in this book run to 1760, but several documents at the back of the volume date from the early 1800s.]]> Minutes (Records)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Duche, Jacob, 1737-1798]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Manuscripts]]> Correspondence]]> ]]> St. Paul's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. Paul's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church records and registers]]> Clock and watch making]]> Church finance]]> Church management]]> Episcopal Church]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Methodist Episcopal Church.

It appears the manuscript was used as a financial journal prior to use as a marriage register; financial entries date from 1744 to 1760, but are crossed out, and pages are reused to record marriages. There is an alphabetical index of names at the beginning of the book.

The date ranges are out of order, marriages from 1761 beginning on p. 15, continuing to p. 270, whereupon the reader is directed back to p. 2 for the continuation of marriage records from Rev. William Rogers. Meanwhile, records of Rev. Henry Holcombe from 1813 start on p. 270 and continue through 1824 on p. 313. Records from succeeding pastors continue to the end of the book, with some gaps in years.]]> Registers (Lists)]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Second Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Second Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Church fund raising]]> Presbyterians]]> Presbyterian Church]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> First Moravian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> First Moravian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Moravian Church]]> Moravians]]> Corporate minutes]]> Church meetings]]> Elders (Church officers)]]> Church discipline]]> Conflict management]]> Church finance]]> Church management]]> Love feasts]]> Baptism]]> Church buildings]]> Church schools]]> Church membership]]> Manuscripts]]> Minutes (Records)]]> ]]> St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> St. George's Methodist Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Corporate minutes]]> Church management]]> Church buildings]]> Church committees]]> Church discipline]]> Church fund raising]]> Church records and registers]]> Methodists]]> Charity]]> Poor]]> Methodist 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]]> Corporate minutes]]> Correspondence]]> Church committees]]> Church discipline]]> Church finance]]> Church management]]> Church membership]]> Religious education]]> Temperance]]> Poor]]> Charity]]> African Americans]]> Antislavery movements]]> Religious literature]]> Persecution]]> Records (Documents)]]> Manuscripts]]> Minutes (Records)]]> ]]> Yearly Meeting of Women Friends (Philadelphia]]> Pa.)]]> Yearly Meeting of Women Friends (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Society of Friends--Pennsylvania--Philadelphia]]> Quakers--Pennsylvania--Philadelphia]]> Philadelphia (Pa.)--Genealogy]]> Quaker women]]> Women and religion]]> Corporate minutes]]> Indians of North America]]> African Americans]]> Temperance]]> Religious education]]> Correspondence]]> Church committees]]> Church discipline]]> Church finance]]> Church fund raising]]> Persecution]]> Poor]]> Charity]]> Records (Documents)]]> Manuscripts]]> Minutes (Records)]]> ]]> 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]]> Corporate minutes]]> Correspondence]]> Church committees]]> Church discipline]]> Church finance]]> Church management]]> Church membership]]> Religious education]]> Temperance]]> Poor]]> Charity]]> African Americans]]> Antislavery movements]]> Religious literature]]> Persecution]]> Records (Documents)]]> Manuscripts]]> Minutes (Records)]]> ]]> Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends.
