Join Us for an Evening with Author Emily Sneff.

We are honored to welcome historian and author, Dr. Emily Sneff to historic Christ Church for a captivating presentation on her latest book, When the Declaration of Independence Was News.

In addition to the presentation, guests are invited to a reception in the Neighborhood House at 5:30 PM and encouraged to explore the accompanying exhibit, Fractured Symbols, Traditions, and Congregations. Through archival records and personal accounts, this exhibit reveals how the Revolution divided worshippers and forced clergy to make impossible choices. Key artifacts on display include a fragment of King George III’s coat of arms and a Book of Common Prayer where prayers to the Royal Family were crossed out in July 1776.
