This past Sunday I enjoyed speaking at the Dimock Camp Meeting Ground in Pennsylvania. The title of my presentation was “Give Me That Old Time Religion: The Camp Meeting Story”. It was appropriate that I talked about the development of Camp Meetings at a historic camp meeting ground. Dimock was established in 1877.
To make the presentation I dressed up as Bishop Francis Asbury, the first American Methodist Bishop, who was active in promoting the development of camp meetings in the late 1700s and early 1800s. He traveled the country on horseback. So it was neat to see his silhouette on the Methodist historical marker on the chapel. Here is how the local newspaper reported on the event.
