The 101st Anniversary of St. John's Church
|
On Sunday, May 26, 1912, the Rt. Rev. William Crane Gray, bishop of the Missionary Jurisdiction of Southern Florida, wrote in his diary, "I am most thankful for this church and pray God's blessing on this forward movement."
"This church" to which he referred was the new Episcopal mission in Tampa, St. John's, which he consecrated on that day, and where he also confirmed a class of four. Bishop Gray added that the Rev. John Friedenreich Porter, first priest in charge of St. John's, preached the sermon. Happy 101st anniversary, St. John's!
