摘要

It was beautiful, almost sublime in its simplicity. Nearly square, brilliantly white with two tiers of windows, and sheltered by a gable roof, Chestnut Hill Meetinghouse has lived long in my memory. As part of a field tour at the 2001 meeting of the Vernacular Architecture Forum in Newport, Rhode Island, we had traveled to visit one of New England's best-preserved mid-eighteenth-century meetinghouses. I was in the midst of finishing my dissertation on Anglican churches of early South Carolina. Before me was something wholly different. The single open space of the interior was dominated by an elaborated pulpit centrally located on the long wall opposite the facade's main door. A broad gallery ringed the chamber on the other three sides, hovering over the warren of box pews on the floor. It was, intentionally, an auditory and nothing more. My imagination populated the space with hundreds of auditors-some sleepy, others engaged-and a scholarly minister delivering a scrupulous sermon on the sovereignty of Cod. South Carolina's Anglicans and their liturgical churches seemed a million miles away.
