St. Georges was established in 1714 on land donated by Jean Jacquette. This brick building was erected in 1808, replacing the original log church dedicated in 1717. The steeple was added during an 1877 renovation. {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-3.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=St. George's Episcopal Church, Pennsville, NJ }} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-2.jpg |size=250 |align=r |caption=St. George's Episcopal Church - sign }} {{clear}} =====Trinity Episcopal "Old Swedes" Church, Swedesboro, New Jersey===== The church at "Raccoon" (Swedesboro) shared a minister with St. George's at Penn's Neck (Pennsville) for its early history, but maintained its own log building. The current brick building was built in 1783-86, after the end of the American Revolution. The tower and steeple were completed in 1839. {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-4.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=Trinity Episcopal "Old Swedes" - sign }} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-6.jpg |size=250 |align=r |caption=Trinity Episcopal "Old Swedes" - east side }} {{clear}} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-7.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=Trinity Episcopal "Old Swedes" - north side }}{{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-5.jpg |size=250 |align=r |caption=Trinity Episcopal "Old Swedes" - west side }} {{clear}} ====Pennsylvania Churches==== =====Gloria Dei ("Old Swedes") Episcopal Church, Philadelphia===== [[Category: Gloria Dei Old Swedes' Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|more on Gloria Dei]] The original Swedish Lutheran congregation at Tinicum began also using a site at Wicaco in 1677. Both sites were used until the present building on the Wicaco site was consecrated on the First Sunday after Trinity, July 2, 1700. It is the oldest church in Pennsylvania and a National Historic site. The steeple was completed in 1703 and in 1704 "porches" were added on the north and south sides to buttress the walls. {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-9.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=Gloria Dei, Philadelphia, PA - west side }} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-10.jpg |size=250 |align=r |caption=Gloria Dei, Philadelphia, PA - south side }} {{clear}} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-19.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=Gloria Dei: Churchyard }} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-11.jpg |size=250 |align=r |caption=Iinterior view from west (entry) }} {{clear}} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-12.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=Interior - view from east (sacristy) }} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-13.jpg |size=250 |align=r |caption=Closer view of organ, cherubs, & boat }} {{clear}} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-14.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=Detail of Cherubs & bible }} {{clear}} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-15.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=Model of The ''Fogel Grip'' }} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-16.jpg |size=260 |align=r |caption=Model of the ''Kalmar Nyckel'' }} {{clear}} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-17.jpg |size=250 |align=l |caption=Wooden carving of the angel Gabriel }} {{Image|file=Images_for_New_Sweden_Project-18.jpg |size=250 |align=r |caption=Baptismal Font }} {{clear}} ====Maryland Churches==== =====St Mary Anne's Episcopal Church, North East, Maryland===== St. Mary Anne's Episcopal Church (1742) in North East was organized before 1704 by Jonas Aurén, a Swedish Lutheran minister form Ekshärad, Värmland. {{Image|file=Images for New Sweden Project.jpg |caption=St Mary Anne's Episcopal Church, North East, Maryland }}

[[Category: Sources by Name]] [[Category: Source Directories]] [[Category: New Sweden]] [[Category: New Sweden Genealogy Resources]] Välkommen! This page is part of the [[Project:New_Sweden|New Sweden Project.]] The New Sweden Colony was located in the Delaware Valley from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, Delaware, and eastern Maryland. It was founded about 1638 by Swedes and Finns under the leadership of Peter Minuit. The colony was taken by the Dutch in 1655, but it retained essentially the same laws and type of governance until 1682 when the English Quakers arrived. Swedish culture remained significant in the region for some time; records of the Old Swedes Church in Swedesboro, NJ were in Swedish until as late as 1732 and Swedish language services continued into the 1780s.
