Methodist Hospital of Brooklyn.

THIS SITE. During the past five years, worship services have been conducted the third Sunday in each month with annual Homecoming observances and a Christmas Love Feast each December. A number of memorials have been presented and an unusual historical exhibit is on display in the narthex. A bronze marker denoting the December, 1828 conference has been dedicated. Efforts continued through the Associa tion of Methodist Historical Societies (and the successor Commission on Archives and History) to sec;re the designation as a national historic shrine. In July, 1969 a session of the Southeastern Jurisdictional Commission on Archives and History met at Whitaker's. A communion service, using the Methodist Protestant ritual, highlighted the worship shared by 150 people. Though worthy of a pilgrimage, Whitaker's Chapel symbolizes best the persistence of a people for total participatory democracy in I both church and state! Let the pilgrim never forget this! t
