I don't think the current photo depicts the church in which Patrick Henry delivered his famous speech -- the one accross from Virginia's capitol. It must be the other Saint John's Church mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.115.38.97 (talk • contribs)

That is a picture of the proper St. John's church. VirginiaProp 20:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)VirginiaProp[reply]
This article includes a good deal of historical matter not directly relevant to St. John's Episcopal Church. Even though much of it is unsourced, I have resisted the temptation to delete it wholesale, as parts of it are pretty interesting, even if not appropriate for this article. I'm hoping that somebody knowledgeable about the church will pare down the article, or, where possible, strengthen the connections between the church and the historical anecdotes. If nobody does that within a reasonable time I may come back and start cutting.
A note about my recent copy-editing: in most English-speaking Christian traditions, "Reverend" is an adjective applied to members of the clergy, not their title. (Cf. Honorable for judges and mayors.) So one shouldn't refer to "Reverend Sarah Johnson" or "Rev. Johnson", any more than one would call a judge, "Honorable Smith". Rather, one should call her "the Reverend Sarah Johnson"; and, once she's been identified, "the Rev. Ms. Johnson", or simply, "Ms. Johnson", or, in an encyclopedia article, plain "Johnson". J. D.
