The Confirmation Class visited historic Philadelphia trying to imagine what it was like during the time of Bishop William White (1748-1836). They visited Christ Church (the tallest building in the USA for 50 years), Old St. Joseph's Church, and toured the Todd House and Bishop White's House. For more information about Bishop White see http://www.archives.upenn.edu/histy/features/1700s/people/white_wm.html
