Christ Episcopal Church (Reading, Pennsylvania)

Christ Episcopal Church, founded in 1763, is the oldest, English-speaking, religious congregation in Reading, Pennsylvania. The church is located on the northwest corner of Fifth and Court Streets. Its nave was built c. 1826. Its church ledgers have recorded the membership of multiple prominent Pennsylvanians, including De Benneville Randolph Keim, a nineteenth-century journalist who served as an advisor to Ulysses S. Grant, the commanding general of the Union Army during the American Civil War, and David McMurtrie Gregg, an American Civil War-era major general who won fame for gallantry during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
