A veiw from the rooftop of Trinity Episcopal
One of Asheville’s many historic churches is celebrating a milestone this year…160 years and counting! This past September, the parish released a book that illuminates Trinity Church–its history, art, architecture, and people. An Illustrated History: Trinity Episcopal Church, 1849-2011 tells the story of a journey of faith: an Episcopal parish born near the crossroads of a mountain village during the turbulent years leading to the Civil War. The parish’s history is a living one, kept vibrant today through service, worship and community outreach.
The hardbound, keepsake coffee-table book includes a full-color, narrated photographic gallery of Trinity’s iconic art and architecture; a comprehensive timeline integrating significant parish, community and global events; and an index and apendices listing bishops, priests, wardens and distinguished congregants throughout the past 160 years.
The book costs $50 and would be an excellent addition to any preservationist’s bookshelf this December, or any time of year. All profits from the book support Trinity’s Emergency Outreach Fund and can be purchased by emailing: info@trinityasheville.org.
