The Tercentenary Year

By Edgar Franklin Romig

"The Tercentenary Year" is a comprehensive historical record documenting the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in the City of New York. Compiled by Edgar Franklin Romig, this volume chronicles the extensive celebrations held in 1928 to mark three centuries of continuous ecclesiastical life since the church's establishment in 1628. The work serves as both a commemorative tribute and a scholarly resource, detailing the church's evolution from its Dutch colonial origins to its role as a cornerstone of New York's religious and social landscape.

Inside, readers will find accounts of the various services, pageants, and international assemblies that characterized the tercentenary events. The narrative emphasizes the enduring legacy of the Dutch settlers and the spiritual foundations they laid in the New World. Beyond its denominational significance, "The Tercentenary Year" provides valuable insights into the broader religious history of the United States and the cultural heritage of the Middle Atlantic region. It is an essential primary source for historians of New York City and students of American Protestantism, preserving the spirit and memory of one of the nation's oldest religious institutions.
