This is the fascinating story of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, one of a number of Episcopal churches that had their beginnings in Florida before the close of the nineteenth century. From it's beginning in 1886, Holy Trinity's story has been one of struggle, perseverance and triumph, overcoming catastrophic citrus freezes, the great depression and changing demographics that challenged and at times threatened her very survival. While documenting the roles and contributions of countless individuals at Holy Trinity throughout her history, this book also chronicles the sturdy faith, stable tradition, and spirited optimism of the founding pioneers and those that followed, and provides a message of inspiration for those of us in today's church, whose beliefs are questioned, whose traditions are under siege, and whose hopes are almost buried under skepticism and despair.
