Since coming to Chattanooga, I have - well - flitted around, to find a fit. Sort of a strange thing, trying to find a church that feels comfortable in a new town. I like St Paul's. Sometimes, I admit, I've thought of any Episcopalian church as *Catholic light* and been put off; we Protestants of the Meth/Pres bent tend to shy away from such. But, I like this church. Not just because it is convenient to me (there are at least four others I can walk to as well, so let's cross that criteria off the most-important list) but because I like the people. I also like that there are multiple service times, which is one thing I was used to/assumed would be available in Atlanta (from restaurants to gyms to religious services to...) and it has an active life in the community, to boot. Warm, welcoming, friendly. I have learned a bit, and look forward to knowing more. This Easter Sunday, 8am? Before this girl has to go serve the folks chicken wings and such - well, I'm glad to know I have a place to visit.

I thought Churches were never locked? what's up with that? old wives tale? who knows, but this church was locked. History of the church St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a downtown congregation of the Episcopal Church. It is one of the largest congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee. The congregation first assembled in 1852, when local Episcopalians held worship services on the second floor of a general merchandise store at 4th and Market Streets. The parish was organized the following year in a meeting of ten families. The parish's first church building was at the corner of 8th and Chestnut. During the American Civil War, it was used as a military hospital and received serious damage. The building was repaired and returned to use in 1867 after the congregation received $3640 from the federal government as compensation for the damages. In 1880, the parish sold the property at 8th and Chestnut and acquired the property at 7th and Pine as the site for a new church. The church's current building was built in 1881 or 1886 and opened for worship in 1888. It was designed by New York City architect William Halsey Wood. Its design, which features a prominent bell tower, was modeled after a "typical English village church".The sanctuary has a high wooden ceiling and side galleries; it can seat about 450 people.The bell tower holds 11 bells that were cast by the McShane factory in Baltimore and dedicated in 1911. Architectural historian Ron Ramsay has described the church exterior as having Georgian elements, while the interior is "much more Gothic and much more Victorian".Wood used a similar design for churches in Kansas City and in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 Address: 7th and Pine Sts., Chattanooga, Tennessee Website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Paul%27s_Episcopal_Church_(Chattanooga,_Tennessee)

History I found on the internet: Tony and I was walking around Chattanooga today, and I found this lovely old church on 7th Street. It was built in 1879..and is so gorgeous... History I found on the internet: Second Presbyterian Church is a historic church at 700 Pine Street in Chattanooga, Tennessee, affiliated with Presbyterian Church USA. The Gothic Revival building, designed by Reuben Harrison Hunt, was built in 1890. It is the oldest building designed by Hunt that is still extant in Chattanooga.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] Since 1984 the undercroft of the church's main building has been used for a homeless shelter, operated as a cooperative project of Second Presbyterian Church and St. Paul's Episcopal Church. St. Matthew's Men's Night Shelter started as a winter-only emergency shelter for homeless men. It now operates year-round to provide overnight housing for men who are participating in a rehabilitative program, such as the program of the Chattanooga Community Kitchen.
