Trinity Episcopal Church is located at 1519 Martin Luther King Boulevard in the Woodbridge Historic District of Detroit, Michigan. The church was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979〔 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.〔 It is now known as Spirit of Hope. ==History== The Epiphany Reformed Episcopal parish was founded in 1878 as a place where Anglicans not pledged to the Episcopal bishop of Michigan might worship.〔(Trinity Episcopal Church/ Spirit of Hope ) from Detroit1701.org〕 In 1880, the congregation built a small frame church, and in 1889 changed their name to Trinity Episcopal.〔 James E. Scripps, owner of The Detroit News, was a member of the Trinity congregation. Scripps was born in London,〔 and developed a fascination with historic English churches. He commissioned sketches of churches in England,〔 and in 1893 put up $55,000 to build the current church building.〔(Historic Building ) from Spirit of Hope〕 In 1896, Trinity members voted to unite their church with the Episcopal diocese of Michigan.〔 In 1926, the parish house, which includes a chapel, dining room, gymnasium, offices and classrooms was constructed.〔 As the neighborhood around Trinity changed, the church reached out to new constituents, including the Irish community.〔(History ) from Spirit of Hope〕 However, the declining population of the surrounding area led to a decline in the congregation.〔 In 2001, the nearby Jeffries Housing Projects were torn down; the Faith Memorial Lutheran Church, founded in 1956 to serve the community, found itself with a drastically reduced congregation.〔 The congregations of Faith Memorial Lutheran and Trinity Episcopal began exploring the concept of merging, and in April 2006, the two joined to become the Spirit of Hope.〔 In 2007, Kathleen Brennan began the Spirit of Hope Urban Farm which was featured in the September/October 2011 ''Natural Home & Garden'' magazine.〔(Greening Detroit: Spirit of Hope Urban Farm Brings Bounty to the Motor City ), Kelli B. Kavanaugh, ''Natural Home & Garden'', September/October 2011 (retrieved 28 January 2012)〕 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「Trinity Episcopal Church (Detroit, Michigan)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
