Two missionary off shoots of St. John's Lutheran Church of Christopher
Street in New York City emerged in The last Decade of the nineteenth century: the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Atonement
and the Church of Our Saviour. Both congregations were to move a number of times and merge, finally, in 1927 to form Our Saviour's
Atonement Lutheran Church. This congregation built the present church the following year in 1928. The following accounts are
taken from historical documents: the first was written by the founding pastor of the Church of the Atonement, Dr. Frederick
H. Knubel; and the next two sections were published anonymously in an anniversary publication. | |
