"Unhappy Divisions:" King's Chapel and the American Revolution
Virtual History Program
Thursday July 1 at 5:30 PM

The words “unhappy divisions” were preached by King’s Chapel minister Henry Caner more than a decade before the American Revolution, during a time of political tensions between Britain and the American Colonies. His words proved true in the 1770s, as King’s Chapel and its congregation weathered the American Revolution.
Join the History Program in commemorating Independence Day through this dive into King’s Chapel’s history in the age of American Independence. Discover the stories of members and clergy across social and political divides, and the story of the chapel itself during this critical period in American History.

Liberty & Death: King's Chapel and the Crypt in the American Revolution
Virtual History Program
Thursday July 15 at 5:30 PM

We may be familiar with the famous Revolutionary-era quotation “Give me Liberty, or give me Death!” But what about exploring these two themes together?

Join the King’s Chapel History as we descend into the history of the church’s 18th century crypt and burial registers, exploring themes relating to death and the American Revolution. Attendees will learn about the crypt’s history and significance, major funerals held at the church during the revolution, disputes over tombs, and more.
