New York Avenue Presbyterian Church (NYAPC) is intimately connected with the life of Abraham Lincoln. The church welcomed President Abraham Lincoln and his family as pew holders on the first Sunday following his inauguration in March 1861. President Lincoln worshiped regularly at NYAPC during the American Civil War. Lincoln and NYAPC’s pastor, Rev. Dr. Phineas Densmore Gurley, developed a relationship in which they frequently discussed theology and those discussions and Gurley’s sermons likely influenced Lincoln’s perception of the war and its meaning for the nation. Gurley presided over the funeral of Lincoln’s son, William Wallace Lincoln, in 1862, and then over the funeral of Lincoln himself in 1865.
This one hour, first person interpretation of Lincoln by Mr. Klein is free of charge to the public.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
