All churches have a history, but not all churches have such a great historian. In 1993, Elissa Scalise Powell researched and wrote �A Brief History of Christ Episcopal Church, North Side 1831-1952 & Christ Episcopal Church, North Hills 1952-1993.� The following pages include excerpts from Elissa�s book with additions in the years since the book was originally created.

�This history is written September 1993 in celebration of the �mortgage burning� of the 30-year building loan for Christ Episcopal Church, 5910 Babcock Blvd. Throughout this time we remember the spirit that started this project and those who have carried it through these past 30 years. It would be an impossible task to name everyone who contributed to the Christ Church of today but in the following stories, a few do stand out. Though most of us who attend Christ Church today do not remember the old church on the North Side, it was there that what we celebrate now was conceived.�
