Revision: The "Priest who in his day pleased his God"



A journal, colored turquoise dated 1996 has the following entry, a re-cap of a conversation with Gladys :  You might write.  one day you should dig into all of those journals and write.  further notes to self in December 1996:  "start any where, just start and keep putting down words."

the link will take you to the St. Luke's Church photo site.  under the historical photo album you will find the 'much loved' "Father Schlueter".  His face belongs on the mug shot.

January 24, 2010:  the link no longer works. you may no longer get his mugshot.

Time Magazine: "Religion: Vicar of St. Luke's

a brief history of The Reverend Edward H. Schlueter's 40 years at St. Luke's in Greenwich Village, New York.

the following link takes you to the school's website.
a brief history of St. Luke's Chapel and school,

January 24, 2012:  The link to Time Magazine used to open to the full article.  it no longer does, unless you are a Time Magazine subscriber, you will only be able to read the first few lines.

this photo is the copyright Nori Muster, published in 2007.  placed here by her permission.

she links to the Trinity Conference Center.  the place (the conference center) seems to have lost it's spiritual essence.  i wonder if they kept Schlueter's chapel.
