Hymn 525 from The Hymnal 1982: The Church's one foundation



Alan Lewis, organist

Calvary Episcopal Church
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania



Calvary Church was founded in East Liberty in 1855. Calvary, and the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, of which it is a member, are part of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, a branch of the world-wide Anglican Communion, descended from the Church of England and thus a part of catholic Christianity tracing its lineage back, through apostolic succession, to the first Christian disciples.



Calvary houses a large pipe-organ, built by Casavant-Frères of Québec, installed in 1963; it is accounted one of the region’s finest, and its hundred stops and more than 7,000 pipes are heard regularly in services and recitals. (About 10% of the organ’s pipes are visible in the West Gallery; the remainder are housed behind the grillwork and façade overlooking the Transepts and Choir Stalls.)
