Emmanuel Church at Brook Hill

The Emmanuel Church at Brook Hill, in the historic community of Brook Hill in Henrico County, Virginia, is a historic church.
==History==
Brothers John and Daniel Kerr Stewart, both born on the Island of Bute in Scotland, emigrated and established a farm at Brook Hill. Although they had been members of Monumental Church and then St. Paul's Church, both in downtown Richmond, Virginia, their property was on the city's outskirts. Between 1859 and 1860, they supported creation of a new parish near their farm, which was organized in 1860. Bishop John Johns consecrated the building on July 6, 1860. The first rector was Rev. Richard Hooker Wilmer, a friend of John Stewart and future Confederate Bishop, elected to the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama in 1862.〔Don W. Massey, The Episcopal Churches of the Diocese of Virginia (Diocese Church Histories Publishers, Keswick, VA, 1989) pp. 151〕
During the American Civil War, troops often traveled on Brook Road, almost in front of this church, and both armies at various times occupied the building, often using it as a hospital.〔http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=24729〕 The early Brook turnpike between Richmond and Dabney Williamson's Tavern became a major thoroughfare during the American Revolution.〔http://www.markerhistory.com/brook-road-marker-e-4/〕 Nearby Virginia historical markers describe Sheridan's maneuvers in 1864,〔http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=54168〕 Richmond's outer defenses on the road,〔http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=47370〕 and the renaming of the entire road between Petersburg and Alexandria Virginia as Jefferson Davis Highway between 1913 and 1947.
The church built a school in 1910, and a parish hall in the 1950s. The parish has also been known for its social activism. John Stewart's daughter Marian, who married George William Peterkin (who became the first Bishop of West Virginia), wrote about its mottos: "God is with us" and "the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much".〔Massey p. 204〕 Immediately in front of the church, in addition to a historic marker concerning the church, is a marker commemorating artist and suffragette Adele Goodman Clark.
