Description
Even in the midst of the second world war, steps were taken to lay a solid foundation for anticipated future expansion, and by the autumn of 1944 demolition of the River Oaks Corporation building made possible acquisition of nearly all the land contained in the present site of the St. John the Divine.
In January of 1945 the Bishops elected Thomas Sumners to the Episcopate as Missionary Bishop of North Texas. After prayerful consideration, Sumners notified Bishop Quin that he could not accept consecration to the Sacred Episcopate. He believed his “child” needed him more. It would take almost another 10 years to raise the funds need to construct our current church home, but on February 28, 1954 both Tom Sumners and his more than 2,100 communicants could rejoice that the Table of the Lord had never been more splendidly housed. It is fitting that the membership society of the Endowment Fund is named in honor of the rector whose vision and dedication formed the human cornerstone of St. John the Divine.
