}} All Saints' Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church in Briarcliff Manor, New York. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.〔 John David Ogilby, whose summer estate and family home in Ireland were the namesakes of Briarcliff Manor, founded the church in 1854. The church was built on Ogilby's summer estate in Briarcliff Manor.〔 Richard Upjohn designed the church building, which was constructed from 1848 to 1854 and expanded in 1911. The church has several memorial windows, including one by John LaFarge and a rose window by Frederick Wilson of Tiffany Studios. ==History== The church's opening service was held on December 13, 1854, and Ogilby donated the church's current building and grounds in 1863. He gave the church its first name, "All Saints' Church, Brier Cliff, Sing Sing, N. Y.", naming his property Brier Cliff after his family home in Ireland.〔 In 1910, the church building was enlarged to the present cruciform shape, and it was consecrated on November 1, 1911. In 1945, the church purchased property to the north and east of the building; a parish hall was built there in 1949 and dedicated on January 29, 1950.〔 In the 2000s, photographer Mark Sadan informally led the Sunday Photo Group,〔 which had about 24 members and met at All Saints', on the second Sunday of each month.〔 In late 2006, the church was featured on ''Nightline'' and ''USA Today'' for hosting U2charists, Eucharists accompanying U2 songs;〔 the church has held two such services.〔 The church estimated that of the people to attend one of their U2charists, 70 percent were visitors.〔 Notable rectors include Thomas Hazzard and John Adams Howell.〔 Hazzard was the founder of Hope Farm, and was a football player and coach, as well as a minister, dairy farmer, treasurer, and missionary in Liberia.〔 John Adams Howell invented the Howell torpedo and other naval devices; he was also a rear admiral in the US Navy.〔 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 (Briarcliff Manor, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
