Excerpt from History of the Presbyterian Church of Shippensburg, Pa., Presbytery of Carlisle: A Historical DiscourseWe come now to notice the origin of our church in this place. There were doubtless Presbyterians here from the first settlement of the town. Owing, however, to the fact that the Episcopalian element rather predominated in the early settlement of the place, through the influence of Mr. Shippen, who was an Episcopalian, and the nearness of an organization at Middle Spring, a Presbyter ian church was not established here for quite a number of years.One of the earliest organizations here was the Associate Reformed Church, which, in the course of time, became the Presbyterian church. This may properly be considered, therefore, the origin of our church.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
