A Sketch Of St Philips Church Charleston Sc PDF Download

Excerpt from A Sketch of St. Philip's Church, Charleston, S. C: From the Establishment of the Church of England Under the Royal Charter of 1655 to July, 1897 The early history of St. Philip's Church is but a part of the colonial history of South Carolina; and as it has been said of Westminster Abbey that it was a part of the Constitution of England, so St. Philip's was interwoven into the very fabric of the Province. The charter of King Charles II, (1665, ) under which the colony was founded, granted unto the Lords Proprietors "the patronage and advowsons of all the churches and chappels" (i. e. the power to name and appoint ministers) "which as the Christian religion shall increase within the Province, territory, islets and limits aforesaid, shall happen hereafter to be erected; together with license and power to build and found churches, chappels and oratories in convenient and fit places within the said bounds and limits, and to cause them to be dedicated and consecrated according to the ecclesiastical laws of our Kingdom of England."
