PROLOGUE
Before ...
Long before there was a church named Trinity Episcopal on Fort Street, Mackinac Island Michigan there were people on the small, turtle-shaped island between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas who had little in common except the very real hardships encountered, trying to survive there. But somehow, over time, many residents overcame their differences and began attending Episcopal services, while extending a welcome to worshippers from any denomination when there was no other Protestant church on the Island. A tiny congregation, meeting in an abandoned Presbyterian mission, a U.S. Army Fort and a county courthouse, grew together as a faith community. This is their story, and the story of those who
succeeded them, and it is our story too, and the story of those who
will follow us. Faces and fashions have changed across centuries;
friends and family have moved or passed away, but Trinity's strength
is, as it always has been, not a roof tightly sealed against leaks
or wooden walls joined to keep out bad weather, but a community
moving forward in faith and friendship.
