This may be one of the squabbles which will enliven this year's session: New York Presbytery against...
Contemporaneous with General Pershing's utterances was the announcement of plans for another National Church in Washington, this one not to be a U. S. Westminster Abbey or even a cathedral. Instead, it will be the largest U. S. cruciform church; it will be called the National Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Charles Wood, D.D., president of its incorporators, revealed that a site had already been chosen, that the church would be 290 feet long and 150 feet wide, that its steeple or tower would rise 222 feet above the ground...
