James Parks, ,Senior Warden
Henry VanLandingham, Chairman Moving Committee
Members of the Vestry

Please excuse my absence from this month 's Vestry meeting due to a pre-arranged out of town trip.
The followi ng is a progress report concerning the removal of our pipe or gan as it relate s to t he arts and
furnis hings of a planned church architecture in the
new St. Philip's;
On Oct. 2, 1973 at St . Clement's I had the extremely
enli ghtening experience of meeting with Father Kryder,
rector of Calvary Church and a member of the Diocesan
Commission on Church Architecture and discussing potential plans for St . Philip's . Subsequently I received
from him the letter accompanying this report setting
forth his recommendation in, to use his words,"broad,
brush strokes".
I regret not being able to present this communi cation
in person and in more detail so that I might reflect
and hopefully convey to you the enthusiasm and excitement it engendered in me personnaly in contemplating
our future church.
Also, on t he same day after meeting with Father Kryder
I visited new St . Andrew's in Newfane, New York which
is the embodiment of his work in church architecture.
I was i mmensely i mpre ssed.
It is my recommendation, and I sincerely hope t he Vestry
will concur, that we take advantage of Father Kryder's
expressed desire and readiness to assist u s in our future
plans .

Respectfully submitted ,

Bob
