    1. Re: Re: Meeting house
    2. Hi, Was Hopewell Meeting House a Quaker congregation or a Presbyterian one? Or were there two Meeting Houses named Hopewell? It is my understanding that up until the time of the Am. Rev., all non- Anglican denominations had to be called a "meeting house". Only the Anglicans could call their churches "Churches" This is important to me, because I'm trying to find out information on aHopewell Presbyterian Meeting House near the Opequon.

Jack's post refers to a Hopewell Quaker Meeting. I would appreciate it, if someone would enlighten me about this. Thanks, Ann
