 Grace Episcopal Church Yorktown, VA"The sturdy marl walls of this church have been standing since 1697 despite the ravages of war during the two sieges of Yorktown (1781 and 1862) and despite the "great fire" of 1814. It continues, as it has for generations, to serve York - Hampton Parish in the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia." The Diocese of Southern Virginia may hold the deed to historic Grace Church. But it is only the custodian, granted the authority during this time to preserve the ancient house of worship, which is actually owned by the ages. In the continuum of time, our lifetime is but a heartbeat. May the lifetime of Grace Church span the ages. |
