Title: Book traces history of local congregations Author: Lindsay Betz Publisher: Sun Press Date: 6/1/09 In her book "Cleveland Heights Congregations," author and resident Marian Morton traces the history of the city by looking at the history of its religions institutions. The book, released through Arcadia Publishing, includes almost 200 historical photos of religious institutions. "I was trying to describe the enormous range of religious experiences here," Morton said. "It reflects the enormous range of the Cleveland Heights experience." She said the history of religion in the city can be likened to the history of religion in America as a whole. "This is a very special place, but nothing that happens here happens only here," she said. Morton''s book traces the history of congregations in the city. Before congregations could afford to build their own churches they often worshiped in shared or public spaces like schools, she said. "Some of them were very small congregations and didn''t have their own houses of worship," Morton said. The first congregation in Cleveland Heights was the Fairmount Methodist Episcopal Church -- now Church of the Saviour. It began worshiping in the Superior Schoolhouse, 14391 Superior, in 1875. In 1878 the congregation -- which was called Heights Methodist Episcopal Church for a period of time -- built a gothic-style church just south of the schoolhouse. It then moved to 14284 Superior Road, where Christ Our Redeemer African Methodist Episcopal Church lives now. This building is the oldest standing religious structure in the city. Jewish institutions first came to Cleveland Heights from Glenville and central Cleveland. Morton said the first Jewish institution in the city was the Mayfield Cemetery, 2749 Mayfield, which was established in 1890. Other Jewish institutions -- including the Oakwood Club and the Montefiore Home -- were also established. The first Jewish congregation, Morton said, was the Heights Jewish Center, which was organized in 1923 as the Heights Jewish Orthodox Congregation. It worshiped at numerous locations throughout the city, including a house on Euclid Heights Boulevard, before moving to University Heights in 1979. The first Jewish temple in city was the B''nai Jeshurun-Temple on the Heights, which opened in 1926 at 3130 Mayfield. In doing research for the book Morton said she discovered many things, but was struck by the wide range of church architecture in the city. "Like all buildings, churches say something about the place," she said. "We have so many kinds (of churches) because we have so many kinds of people." She said it is difficult to pinpoint the exact number of religious congregations currently in the city, but said there are probably about 50. Morton tried to include every congregation in the city''s history and received a huge amount of help from many of them. All proceeds from the book will be donated to the Heights Emergency Food Center, a nonprofit organization committed to Judeo-Christian principles. "I got so much help from all these congregations, and it seemed like an appropriate thing to do, to give the proceeds (to the center)," Morton said. Morton, who recently retired from her job as a history professor at John Carroll University, has written two other books about Cleveland Heights and one about Lakeview Cemetery. "Cleveland Heights Congregations" is available at local bookstores, including Appletree Books, Borders Books & Music and Mac''s Backs Paperbacks.
Synopsis
Since the last quarter of the 19th century, dozens of religious congregations have made their homes in Cleveland Heights. They have been Presbyterian, United Methodist, Evangelical, Roman Catholic, Jewish (Conservative, Orthodox, and Egalitarian\traditional), Unitarian Universalist, Greek Orthodox, Baptist, Disciples of Christ, Church of Christ, Lutheran, Christian Science, Episcopalian, African Methodist Episcopal, and Congregational and now also include a wide array of community and nondenominational churches. Sponsored by established congregations, encouraged by real estate developers and public officials, and usually welcomed by residents, churches, synagogues, and temples have fostered the suburb's growth, sometimes maintaining and sometimes changing Cleveland Heights neighborhoods. Their houses of worship, ranging from modest renovated storefronts to stately cathedrals, have enriched the city's landscape; their religious pluralism has nurtured ethnic, economic, and racial diversity, as well as controversy and conflict; their calls to action have sometimes aroused the community's conscience. Religious congregations, in short, have helped to sustain the vitality of Cleveland Heights., Since the last quarter of the 19th century, dozens of religious congregations have made their homes in Cleveland Heights.

- n***m (110)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufGood price for the book. Shipping was slow. Messaged the seller a week after I ordered it to see when they were going to ship it. They responded immediately and said it would be shipped out soon. Got it about a week later. Book did arrive in the date range that they provided though  Minimal packaging. Book is Shrink wrapped and only wrapped in thin plastic. No bubble wrap. Book is in good shape though. 
- c***t (923)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (Nr. 356798982438)
