Album Info:
"In the 1740's, Charles Wesley was charged with the spiritual guidance of the Frederica settlers on St. Simons Island. This was part of the missionary work headquartered at Christ Church, Savannah, where Wesley's brother John served as rector. In 1808 the Georgia State Legislature granted 100 acres near Frederica to be used for their church. Called Christ Church, Frederica, it was completed in 1820. During the Civil War Union troops commandeered the small structure and it was nearly destroyed. The current building was erected in 1889, complete with magnificent stained glass windows. Tombstones in the churchyard relate much of the island's history, recalling the fascinating lives and times of many founding families."
