Description of Subject Matter: History of National Presbyterian Church

The National Presbyterian Church looks back proudly on more than two centuries years of spiritual service to the people of the nation's capital. The church's rich heritage, which has evolved through four congregations since 1795, reflects the contributions of Presbyterians to our city and nation.

It is fitting that the beginnings of America's federal city and government are associated with the foundation of a Presbyterian church. Many Pilgrims who came to America followed the teachings of John Calvin. John Witherspoon, a Presbyterian minister, president of Princeton University and descendant of Scotland's preacher-patriot John Knox, inspired members of the Continental Congress to sign the Declaration of Independence.

According to church archives, most of America's Presidents -- from James Madison, forward -- have attended services at National Presbyterian or its predecessor congregations. Other leaders who have worshipped with these congregations over the years include Queen Elizabeth, Mother Teresa, President Dwight David Eisenhower, numerous vice presidents, Supreme Court justices, secretaries of state, other cabinet officials and members of Congress.

Of course, the success and ministry of these congregations throughout the church's history is based not on the involvement of the prominent but on the faith, courage and sacrifice of many thousands of people whose contributions are immeasurable.

This tradition of faith goes back to the early years of the White House's construction when stone masons held worship services in a carpenters' shed on the grounds of the Executive Mansion. By 1795, the group had begun to call itself St. Andrew's Church, and Rev. John Brackenridge was installed as its pastor. The members met in private homes until 1800 when they used a frame building at 10th and F Streets, NW. Two years later Brackenridge resigned. Mention of St. Andrew's Church in the records of the period ceased that ye ...More...

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
