This book explores the role that pioneer Methodism and Freemasonry played in the birth of the Republic of Texas. Like the medieval cathedral builders who erected temples across Europe, Freemasons established communities, schools, governments and churches throughout colonial Texas and the United States. San Felipe Church stands on Constitution Square in Stephen F. Austin's original first colony, as a tribute to Texas' enduring pioneer spirit. In 1837, more than a decade before Texas entered statehood, historic San Felipe church was built as an exercise in new spiritual freedom, giving birth to Texas' oldest continuing Methodist congregation. The church building houses one of the most astounding examples of early Texas art work, with its painted ceiling and cedar planked walls. Located some forty miles of west of Houston, this historic treasure genuinely protects one of Texas' "best kept secrets.". Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Spiral Bound. Jacket: No Jacket as Issued
