• W321765843 abstract "The church in Texas, where a few are fabulously rich and many are dirt poor, affords some splendid illustrations of influence of economics on spirituality. A notable example is how Episcopal diocese of Texas began to change in wake of oil strike at Spinclletop in 1901, pivotal event of state history. In 1900 this had been a world of landless tenant farmers facing falling cotton prices, mounting debt, and boll weevils, with Austin floods and Galveston hurricane thrown in. The appropriate diocesan theology was high-church of South Carolina type (Lawrence L. Brown, The Episcopal Church in Texas, vol. 2, Austin, 1985): preachers exhorted faithful to set their sights on treasures which neither moth nor rust could consume, to be thankful for their daily bread, and to recognize God's will in adversity. Within a year of Spindletop, many had pocketed huge wealth, and 500 new companies were operating in Beaumont, including those from which Texaco, Sun oil, Gulf oil, and Exxon have descended. The bishop of Texas, George Herbert Kinsolving, visited town in 1902, and one can almost see his theology yawing. At first he was disgusted with displays of most loathsome of all diseases, itch for gain. Then, more hopefully, he reflected that some of these rapacious speculators might be Episcopalians, and once settled in their new prosperity they might awaken to a sense of responsibility to Church of God and manifest their gratitude by generous offerings. One day soon, Texas Episcopalians would make complete theological peace with the itch for gain. No benefited more from oil boom than Houston. Once mosquitoes were sprayed and Buffalo Bayou was dredged from Gulf of Mexico, Houston became one of world's busiest deep-water ports. And it determined to be friendly to business. The city boasts weak unions, low taxes, poor services, a high tolerance for environmental toxicity, and no zoning regulations whatever. It has become fourth largest in United States. Growth has been proportional in diocese of Texas, a territory of about 50,000 square miles in southeast quadrant of state. In 1900 it had 23 thinly attended congregations; today it is second largest diocese in Episcopal Church, with 86,000 members (according to parochial reports for 2002) and 160 congregations. Affluence and a free-enterprise climate are particularly on display in uptown Houston, just west of Interstate 610 loop. This belongs to seventh congressional district, where in 2002 Republican candidate won re-election with 89 percent of vote. Its most famous landmark is Galleria, where well-heeled shop their way through Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Gucci, Tiffany, and 375 other stores. A mile and a half north of Galleria stands a newer landmark, equally testifying to local wealth. Opened only in 2004, it is a huge limestone and brick church in German early gothic style, with two spires reaching 188 feet. This marks St. Martin Church, whose membership of over 7400 makes it largest Episcopal congregation in United States. A visitor decides to see whether there may be signs that wealth and Republicanism have influenced Anglican life and liturgy in this privileged place. St. Martin stands in a subdivision called Tanglewood, which was named after Nathaniel Hawthorne's Tanglewood Tales by its developer, an Episcopalian named William Giddings Farrington (1901-1967). The 750acre subdivision opened in 1949, and its large lots (the median size is 0.4 acre), rambling ranch-style homes with air conditioning, gently curved wooded streets, hiking trails, and good drainage attracted first buyers. Most of original houses have been replaced by elegant twostory executive homes, typically of Palladian or Spanish inspiration. Today there are about 1050 homes in Tanglewood, and median family income is over $200,000. …" @default.
