All Saints' Episcopal Church, Waveland, is an historic Carpenter Gothic church built in 1898 on Crossroads Hill in Waveland, now part of Jensen Beach, Florida It is the oldest church building located in what is now Martin County, Florida. It is also the northernmost parish in the present-day Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida. When the church was built the land it is on was in Brevard County. From 1910-25, it was in St. Lucie County. Since 1925 it has been in Martin County. Its rector is W. Frisby Hendricks III.〔(All Saints Episcopal Church: History )〕 In 1963 the church building was moved a few 100 feet to a more prominent place (which now has the address of 2377 N.E. Patrician Street) at the top of Crossroads Hill. A new rectory (now the parish offices) was built on the old location, which now has the address of 2303 N.E. Seaview Drive, which is the church's mailing address. Since being moved, the church building has been added onto twice but care was taken to preserve its architectural integrity.〔(A Short History of All Saints Church )〕 In 1989, All Saints Episcopal Church was listed in ''A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture'', published by the University of Florida Press.〔Reeves, F. Blair, editor, ''A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture'', 1989, Gainesville: University of Florida Press, p. 137, ISBN 0-8130-0941-3〕 All Saints Episcopal Church is also featured in the ''2009 Historic Episcopal Churches Engagement Calendar'' published by the National Episcopal Historians and Archivists.〔''2009 Historic Episcopal Churches Engagement Calendar'' , 2008, at week of April 19–25, 2009, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania: National Episcopal Historians and Archivists〕 ==History of the parish== The first Episcopal church services in the Jensen Beach area were held on November 23, 1894, when William Crane Gray, Missionary Bishop of Southern Florida, came down the Indian River by boat to Eden and preached in the schoolhouse there. Later the same day he walked down to Jensen and preached in the parlor of the Al Fresco Hotel. That simple beginning resulted in the formation of two parishes: St. Paul's in Walton north of Eden and All Saints' in Waveland south of Jensen.〔Thurlow, Sandra Henderson ''Historic Jensen and Eden on Florida's Indian River'' (2004) Stuart: Sewall's Point Company, pp. 166-167〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Saints Episcopal Church, Waveland (Jensen Beach, Florida)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
