Annual Meeting & Tour of St. George's Church

The Church Club held it Annual Meeting on June 5th in conjunction with a reception and tour of historic St. George's Church, led by the rector, the Rev. Dr. Thomas F. Pike (left).

The Church Club elected new trustees to fill the slots of those whose terms were expiring.  John H. Andren, Jr., Frederick W. Gerbracht, Jr., Henry L. King, Cathy West Mullins, Arnold H. Neis, and Bettina Nelson were elected to a three-year term.  Stephen Storen was elected to fill an expiring one-year term.

After the business meeting, Dr. Pike talked about the history of St. George's Church (which became the parish of Calvary-St. George's), its dedication to lay leadership, and the long and important role in the church of J.P. Morgan -- who joined the Church Club of New York in 1900.

The business meeting and the first part of Dr. Pike's talk too place in the chapel.  He also led a tour of the main church, which was briefly the largest single interior space in the city until the first Madison Square Garden was built in 1879.

After the tour, Club members enjoyed a reception in St. George's Chantry and courtyard.
