Excerpt from Saint Peter's Episcopal Church, 1834-1984: Charlotte, N. C For St. Peter's Episcopal Church, it came 150 years ago, and it is that propitious event we celebrate this year. A century-and-a - half is a long time, and well beyond the memory of most of us. But from church records and some other sources, several of St. Peter's members have lovingly put together an account of the more important events in the life of the parish, and of the parts played by some of the church's members during that time. As with any history, writing about the latter years was the easiest, because a lot of those who helped form the significant chapters in the life of the parish are still around. Fortunately for us. And for them, too. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
