Summary

[edit]
Description

Spring Garden, Halifax, Nova Scotia. There are plenty of churches in the vicinity of the Old Burying Ground; St. Matthew's United Church is another one. It was founded in 1749, making it one of the oldest extant congregations in Halifax, and for its first years it bore the interesting name of the "Protestant Dissenting Church" - it was a catch-all congregation for those colonists who were not Anglican, though in time it came to be dominated by Presbyterians. The current building dates to 1858, a year after the original one was lost to a fire.

Spring Garden, Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse. Il y a beaucoup d'églises dans les environs de l'Ancien cimetière; l'Église unie St-Matthieu est une autre. Elle a été fondée en 1749, donc elle est l'une des plus anciennes congrégations existantes à Halifax, et pendant ses premières années, elle portait le nom intéressante de l'«Église protestante dissidente» - c'était une congrégation fourre-tout pour les colons qui n'étaient pas anglicans, bien qu'au cours du temps elle est venue à être dominée par les Presbytériens. L'édifice actuel rémonte à 1858, une année après ce que l'original a été perdu à un incendie.

Spring Garden, Halifax, Nueva Escocia. Hay muchas iglesias en las inmediaciones de la Antigua Tierra de Entierros; la Iglesia Unida de San Mateo es otra. Se fundó en 1749, y por eso es una de las congregaciones más antiguas todavía en existencia en Halifax. Durante sus primeros años llevaba el nombre interesante de la "Iglesia Protestante Disidente" - era una congregación comodín para los colonos que no eran anglicanos, aunque con tiempo llegó a estar dominada por los presbiterianos. El edificio actual se remonta a 1858, un año después que el original se perdió en un incendio.
