St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, S.C. -- the resurrection of a success story

We're restoring more than a building....
The Impact Goal of St. John's Episcopal Chapel

Within 20 years, to achieve through "tradition, reasoning and scripture" a spiritual, safer, healthier, gentler and sustainable community with less poverty, crime, violence, teen pregnancy and other signs of moral, social and economic disintegration and decay.

Over a period of the past 10 months, via the written word or email, most of the Diocese has received a myriad of correspondence from me concerning our Leadership Camp, the Philip Simmons Children's Garden and the St. John's Episcopal Chapel. Either informationally or programmatically, all of the aforementioned were important to the furtherance of an ideal, and the success of a 7.3 square mile Enterprise Renewal Community (ERC); Enterprise Community (ER), and more specifically a 1.3 square-mile neighborhood, located within the Eastside Community (EC).

However, what I am about to say to you, referencing the St. John's Episcopal Chapel, has eternal spiritual ramifications, in a community without "biblically mandated spiritual" structure.

We need an Episcopal presence in the Eastside of Charleston, South Carolina

St. John's Episcopal Chapel dedicated, re-consecrated and restored to its antebellum state and it will be the instrument that will bring "succor" to a people through the tradition, reason and scripture that we profess as the "linch-pin" of Anglicanism.
