What Is The Hidden History Of Trinity Church
The Hidden History of Trinity Church
A historic gem in a city where change is the only constant, Trinity Church has played a key role in New York City’s history for well over 300 years now. Though the church has appeared in numerous incarnations, each has been critical to the cultural and social fabric of the city. Few people, however, really know the true history of this iconic church. Here’s a quick look at the hidden history of Trinity Church in New York City!
The origins of the church date back to the late 17th century when King William III approved the charter for the establishment of a new church for the Church of England in what is today Lower Manhattan. The first church began construction in 1697 and was completed in 1698. A modest

    The whole idea to reform the church in England essentially started when King Henry VIII realized he would be unable to divorce his wife, Catherine. He had already set his sights on Anne Boleyn, so he needed to find a quick loophole in order to divorce Catherine and marry Anne. Because the Catholic Church still headed England and even the King had to submit to Papal rule, Henry decided it would be far better if he could just be sovereign (and therefore be able to divorce Catherine). Due to this revelation, King Henry decided to reform the Catholic Church and create "The Church of England". Theologically, he stuck to Catholic principals such as confession and clerical celibacy, but he closed monasteries in order to acquire the wealth they held. In essence, all King Henry did was change the legality of the Church but he did not bring about revolutionary religious change.…

    Protestantism became the main religion in England after they won the religious struggle. To escape religious persecution, the Roman Catholics immigrated to the New World. The Roman Catholic, Cecilius Calvert, also called Lord Baltimore; set out to find protection for his followers. Therefore, he founded Maryland. However, the Catholics were not safe here from the Protestant immigrants. A law was passed that mandated religious freedom and no one who be punished for their religious beliefs (Doc A). This coexistence of the Roman Catholics and the English Protestants shows how religion has affected colonial society.…

    The Trinity Bapitist Church, like most churches, saw themselves as being a positive addition to the African American community. After reading both the article and readings from Karenga, I found it hard to formulate the opinion that they didn’t. However, there were a couple of things that stood out to me as I read along. What I noticed that it did not agree with the historical role that Karenga articulated. Karenga states that the church stressing historical continuity would never be made (Karenga 264). I found this to be an interesting remark because it states that even though the church is supposed to be a spiritual place for people to congregate, they don’t teach the idea of social activism and the history of slavery. However, Reverand Wright saw otherwise because within the church he belonged to, African Americans were the minority. He stated that race in part, an assertion of self-determination, a declaration that no church is culturally natural (Sanneh). I can almost see why he would make…

    You can trace Walnut beginnings back to the First Baptist Church of Louisville, founded in 1815, and the Second Baptist Church of Louisville, founded in 1838. The members of these two early Baptist churches joined together in 1848 to form Walnut Street Baptist Church, located downtown Louisville at the corner of 4th and Walnut Street.

    Christ instituted his church around the year 33 AD. Upon said institution, Christ calls Peter to be the rock upon which His Church shall be built (Matt. 16:18.) Throughout the centuries, the earthy head of the Church (the Pope) had been divinely passed down; starting with Peter and so on and so forth. The authority of the men that have held the said position has been challenged repeatedly. Before the time of the Poststent Reformation, the authority of the Pope was being held in question by a man by the name of John Wycliffe.…
