Upon entrance to the Ebenezer church, the high-peaked ceilings immediately mesmerized me. The white, peaked ceilings were beautifully decorated in imagery of what appeared to be a flower motif repeated all throughout. The three windows at the top of the sanctuary brought lots of natural light creating a feeling of the presence of God. The architecture of the tall, elaborate stained glass held symbols of the church including the grapevine, wheat, etc. A worker for the National Parks Service told us that the stain glass windows had been donated the after destruction of the building, which is why names appear at bottom of every window.

This religious study will define the evolutionary growth of cultural and racial diversity of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) in the late 129th and 20th centuries. The original pietisten philosophy of the Swedish protestant movement defines the foundations of the ECC in the late 19th century. However, the formation of Mission Friends societies throughout the United States, and especially in the Chicago area, prompted a break towards a more radical evangelical ideology. These “conventicles” would define a distinct American style of evangelical practice through the leadership of Carl Olof Rosenius (1816-1868) and eventually, under the leadership of Paul Peter Waldenström (1838-1917). These cultural shifts would occur during the Great Migration

So long ago was the life of Phillis Wheatley, one of the most influential African American writers of her time, but her admired works of literature remain immortal.

Using personification and allusions, Phillis Wheatley relates Christianity with her personal experiences of slavery in her renowned poem, “On Being Brought from Africa to America.” Wheatley uses a great amount of personification to explain her personal interaction with Christianity.
