Across the Church
Houses of worship older than America outlasted wars, schisms, lawsuits
When the country declared independence in 1776, there were 3,228 houses of worship across the Colonies.
Only about 1% of houses of worship in the U.S. today existed in 1776. Here are four (two of which are Episcopal) that predate the revolution — and still hold services.
