In reply to Al DeFilippo. Thank you so very much for this information. We are Methodists and interested in the early movement in America. Your book series sounds quite interesting. Best wishes to you for much success in spreading the word about early Christian efforts in America.

Thank you for the post, many beautiful pictures. For more information about the early Methodist leaders, I invite you to the website for the upcoming book series, The Asbury Triptych Series. The trilogy is dedicated to the leaders of the early Methodist movement in England and America as told through the life of Francis Asbury. The opening book, Black Country, does something completely unique by detailing the early preaching circuits of Francis Asbury in England before leaving for the American colonies. The website for the book series is: http://www.francisasburytriptych.com. Again, thank you for the post.

In reply to lexklein. It seems that the folks I know who have been there all have the same impression. Perhaps we ought to apply for jobs at places like that. Our stress just might go away! Thanks for reading and commenting.

In reply to Wanda J. Wanda, I learned a lot by searching the internet. Didn't know about the Wesley brothers either. They were at Fort Frederica (my next post in this series) ministering to the folks there. Would love to see The Friends church you mentioned. Where do you live?

In reply to lns1122. I love your way of thinking -- "when you come back . . . " I asked Bert if we could go to the Home Tour and see the azaleas. He's thinking about it. We just may get that chance. I'd love to do that. AND take a tour of the interior. So glad Brian introduced us to each other. He is one of the finest men I know, and we love being close to them one week out of the year -- our week at Pawleys!!!

In reply to mytravelmonkey. We loved the Christmas decorations also. Natural and tasteful. Just pine boughs, red berries and ribbon. Why can't I do the same here????

In reply to Curt Mekemson. You're right about Spanish moss being a Southern icon -- we've seen it just about everywhere from LA to SC. Glad the post triggered a memory for you.

The Spanish Moss framing your photo of the front of the church definitely places this church in the south. The Christmas decorations reminded me of my family’s putting together Christmas decorations for the Episcopal Church in Placerville, California, another church dating back to the 1800s. –Curt
