Ordination Rites At Historic
old St. Anne's Church Sunday

I vided by st. Anne's Choir, with Mrs.
]. Allen Johnson as organist. The
church was filled to capacity.
Church Founded In 1905
Old st. Anne's was founded in
1705 by the Society for the Prop
agation of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts" of London, England, after
the original land grant was made
September 1, 1904. This grant,
along with other early relics of the
church are still in possession of
the parish.
A tiny church of logs was built
in the woods at the head of Appo-
quinimink Creek. and the congrega-
ton was known as the "COngrega-
ton of the Appoquinimink." The.
first rector. Thomas Jenkins, arriv-
ed in Delaware from England in
1908.
The present old ivy covered brick
building is of colonial design,
which replaced the log building
which served for 60 years. part of
the original foundations serving
for the present structure.
Ancient box pews with swing
doors are still in use. while the old
benches and box pews of the bal
cony are still the unpainted rough
lumber of the days when it was
used for servants.
Many Old Graves
The old altar is one of the two
in America of real colonial build,
the other being the "Seabury al
tar" at Berkeley Divinity School,
from which Mr.. Culleney gradual
ed. st. Anne's altar is older since
the Seabury altar was not built
until after the Revolution.
Even older than the parish it
self is an old white oak tree whose
long limbs brush the church and
IS known as "Old st. Anne's Oak"
Il has been estimated by tree sur
yeons to be more than 300 years
