I couldn’t find anything more recent right away,

i couldn't find anything more recent right away, but if you look through this blog, I have been looking The End of Puritainism and the religion of the rebelling Colonists. To tell you the truth, I usually find more on the late twentieth century, but csn keep looking.
The church is affiliated with Harvard University-Harvard College and the priests are assigned from Boston and it has no order, being neither Jesuit or Beneductine. Donna and I atteneded the Saturday evening Vigil Mass and have scheduled transportation so thst she can work in the library of our Congregational tommorow. It was our first mass at St. Paul's Parish on Bow Street Cambridge. The message was to love your neighbor as you love yourself- which I pull over quickly to mean love your wife as you love yourself and am grateful to hear. The church is beautiful, with saints in stained glass, bible scenes in fresco, and statues.

Continuing the 250 th anniversary of the United States in the library of our church

I'm still looking through the John Adams Library, books owned by John Adams, despite one of our church members being on the board of the Boston Antheneum and despite the Revolutionary War display in the church lobby from The Congregational Library Archive. I substituted for the Freedom Trail tour guides quite well this morning with incoming tourists. Just reading right now in between patrons.

This book is in a display case in our church as part of the 250 th anniversary of the Revolutionary War

More of my life as a librarian's husband. One thing I spent the morning with was the John Adams library, books owned by John Adams (1735-1826) which included Sacred Poetry published by Jeremy Belknap in 1820. It is a volume of the Psalms with Hymns, almost every Hymn thought imaginable. Historian Jeremy Belknap was born here in Boston during 1744 and died in Boston in 1798.
As a book collector, President John Adams did have books from the 16th century. Scott Lord

Beacon Hill from our Church

One of our ministers is leaving today, so I haven't been looking at as much revolutionary war history, but since the dome seen from Park Street was built by Paul Revere, who is buried in the churchyard, I felt like some practice photos. We've known the minister for about a decade. The steeple can be seen from the other side on Boston Common
Books written by ministers at Park Street during its history, which is from 1809, can often be found near Donna's desk. A testemonial is being given at the moment. Scott Lord
