Title
St. Timothy's Charleston, SC
Description
St. Timothy's was founded on July 17, 1977. Most of the founders came from old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in the West Ashley area of Charleston. There had been for some time a great deal of turmoil in the Episcopal Church over changes or plans for changes in the liturgy and the Book of Common Prayer. To many it seemed that the Episcopal Church was abandoning the traditional articles of faith in favor of trendy contemporary ideology. After much prayer many decided that it was time to leave the innovations of contemporary Episcopalians behind and start a Church devoted to maintaining the traditional practice, liturgy, and doctrine.
Services were first held at the Hugenot Church in downtown Charleston and over the years have been held in a number of locations until finding a permanent home at it's present location on Old Parsonage Road in West Ashley. The church purchased a house on 7 acres of land lined with great oaks. In 2002 we sold 3 1/2 acres of the land to build a lovely Anglican Church building on our remaining property. The new Church was consecrated on August 30, 2003.
The first full time rector of St. Timothy's was Fr. Robert C. Harvey, who celebrated his first St. Timothy's service on February 19, 1978. Fr. Harvey remained rector until his election to be the Bishop designate to the Anglican Catholic Church. He was consecrated April 19, 1980 in Austin,Texas. St. Timothy's voted to join the Anglican Catholic Church on April 20, 1980. Fr. Steven A. Head became the next rector and remained until he was called to other duties on September 19, 1983. Fr. James Livingston served as rector from July 16, 1984 until 1989. Fr. John Kress was called in 1990 and remained until 1994 and Fr. Norman Trimmier, our present rector, began his rectorship on January 1, 1995.
