All Saints' History
All Saints' parish dates from 1901, when Mary Jane Peters donated a small parcel of land at the corner of West Peachtree Street and North Avenue to the Diocese of Georgia to be used for "church purposes." Two years later, on June 7, 1903, All Saints' Church was founded as the third Episcopal parish in Atlanta, in what was then the northern outskirts of the city.
Harriett Dozier, one of the few female architects of the time, designed the original wood and stucco chapel. It was built on a corner lot in a residential subdivision called Peters Park, in memory of Mrs. Peters' husband, Richard, who had developed the land. The original chapel was torn down to make way for a new church building. Architects Thomas H. Morgan and John R. Dillon generously donated their services to design the present church building, which was dedicated on Palm Sunday 1906. The All Saints' seal, stenciled in gold on the vibrant red walls of the chancel and apse, carries reminders of the day — the cross and the crown symbolizing the feast of All Saints, a phoenix representing both the resurrection and the city of Atlanta, and crossed palms indicating Palm Sunday.
Over the century since that Palm Sunday, All Saints' has grown to a parish of around 3,000 members. What was once a suburban parish now can be described as an urban church centered in worship, focused on right relationship with God and one another, and continually transformed through urban and global ministries.
As our city continues to grow and change, our ministries and challenges will, also. However, some aspects of the parish will remain the same - our determination to stay put and offer witness and ministry to our urban neighbors, a heritage of outstanding preaching and music, innovative programs, a climate of openness, and the willingness to take risks.
All Saints' has a history of gifted, able rectors, who have contributed to the spirit and traditions that we honor today. Their long tenures have been a stabilizing influence, especially in times of great social and economic changes. Their legacy of Christian formation, support of lay leadership, and community outreach continues to nourish our parish and inspire our members to build up the Body of Christ.

As you can see, this guy REALLY has Atlanta in his mind. How about you? - Throughout my Blog you can taste a little bit of Atlanta and Georgia. It is a good stop point in your vacation, if you will.
Today I was coming back home from my job, and in the midst of Atlanta's rush hour (I-75 North) when everybody is more than willing to get back home, traffic getting more and more intense and slow... Suddenly I spot right by my car side, this little Chev Lumina with the TAG from ALASKA. And I was curious, so I started thinking: Why in the world this two young guys(was two young men in the car) are doing here in Atlanta? My goodness, Alaska is just SO FAR away from Atlanta; and these two guys were passing by, I mean they were passing by!! Looks like they were coming from Florida or something, because they were taking picture along the way.
I was walking my dog, and suddenly right there on my lawn there was this little precious mushroom. So, I took my camera and shot this pretty picture. It is nice, hum???
This is the view from the lower side (the back side) of The Millennium Gate....
The skyscrapers being built on 17th Street right in front of "The Millennium Gate"; this place is being called now "Atlantic Station" right over here in Atlanta, Georgia. If you keep going this direction on the picture (North) you will be able to see the other buildings which belongs to BB&T and Wachovia. Also, these building is right there on the right south side of I-75 Exit 250, if you decide to visit this gorgeous place.

The Lincoln Memorial was also constructed on that landfill site. A huge train station in front of the Capitol was removed and the more formal alignment of the Mall we see today was completed about 1913. The result is one of the most beautiful and dynamic urban centers ever constructed in history. |  |
This spirit of urban stewardship and responsible aesthetic civic design will now be perpetuated by The National Monuments Foundation. The principals who would later found The National Monuments Foundation completed their first project in Atlanta in 1996. With the sponsorship of The Prince of Wales’s Foundation, the World Athletes Monument was successfully built at Pershing Point to commemorate the Centennial Olympic Games. Prior to the World Athletes Monument project, many buildings in the Pershing Point area had been demolished to |  |
The construction of the monument activated a $75 million building campaign within a one-block radius of the site, and more is to come. Furthermore, the community has enthusiastically embraced this work of art and uses the monument as a place of pilgrimage during times of national or international importance.
