Messiah College colonial America students at Christ Church, PhiladelphiaI spent the last two Saturdays touring colonial Philadelphia with the students in my Colonial America course at Messiah College.
One of my favorite places to visit on these tours is Christ Church–the flagship Anglican Church in 18th-century Philly. And one of my favorite historians of Christ Church is Neil Ronk, Senior Guide and Historian at the church. Neil is not only an intense and inspiring speaker, but he speaks as if there is really something at stake in the preservation and interpretation of the past.
Here is Neil at work (watch the first 6 minutes):
