St. Luke's Church is an Episcopal Church located in Blue Ridge, Georgia. It is part of the Diocese of the South of the Episcopal Missionary Church (EMC). The church is popularly known as "The Parish Church of the Mountains", drawing worshippers from Fannin, Gilmer and Union Counties in Georgia and from Cherokee County in North Carolina and Polk County in Tennessee. St Luke's is a traditionalist church, one of two EMC churches in Georgia. It is affiliated with the Anglican Communion Network, Common Cause Appalachia and Forward in Faith North America. == History == The first Anglican service in Blue Ridge was held on June 7, 1987 in the community room of the Blue Ridge City Hall, with 12 persons present. Several weeks after weekly services began, Mrs. David Henry (Willa) Haight III gave several lots near the city center for the construction of a church. One of the lots included a cemetery from the early 20th century containing graves of early setters of Fannin County. In 1995, a church of Carpenter Gothic design was constructed on the site located at the corner of Ewings and Jones. The building has a set of leaded glass windows, much fine walnut woodwork and an organ from The Netherlands. The church and grounds are popular with tourists. The Rev. Victor H. Morgan, a native of Jackson, Mississippi, was the founding Rector. 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「St. Luke's Church (Blue Ridge, Georgia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
