From Delaware-A landmark church near Stanton is celebrating its 300th anniversary, a rarity in the First State and its faith community.
Predating the state itself, the church of St. James’ Mill Creek was established by missionaries of the Church of England and became one of the founding parishes of the Episcopal Church after the War of Independence, the Rev. James M. Bimbi tells Delaware Backstory.
Bimbi, rector of St. James Episcopal Church, Mill Creek Hundred, said the congregation began special services and programs in September to mark the tercentennial of the church at 2106 St. James Church Road.
