Trinity Moravian church houses a congregation of the Jamaican province of the Moravian Church. It was established in 1954 as part of the bicentenary celebrations of the Moravian Church in Jamaica.〔 ==Church building== The foundation stone was laid on 1954-12-09,〔 and the building was dedicated on 1956-01-18 "with the then Governor, Sir Hugh Foot, Prime Minister Norman Manley, Bishop Kneale and Br. Ben Muncaster Muncaster all taking part".〔 The land in Richmond Park on which the church was built belonged to a prominent Roman Catholic family, one of whose members, Sam Carter, later became Roman Catholic Bishop of Jamaica.〔 Richmond Park was a newly developed housing area inhabited largely by professional and business people.〔 The church was strategically placed near the border between Richmond Park and less prosperous areas.〔 Church members came from all the neighbouring areas so that the congregation provided a meeting point for people from different social and economic groups who might not otherwise have met.〔 While the church was being built, services were held in a nearby home so that when the church was opened, communicant membership was already 61, rising to over 400 by 1966, with large numbers of young people and children in Sunday School and youth organisations.〔 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 Moravian Church, Jamaica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
