TO COMMEMORATE THE 350TH anniversary of the founding of First Church and of the city of Boston, Margaret Shepherd created memorials in calligraphy which can be seen at First Church. These newly designed memorials, the fore-runners of which had been lost in the 1968 fire, echo the modern architecture of Phillip Rudolph and express the congregation's gratitude for the pastors and prophets, poets and patriots, politicians and philanthropists who helped shape their church, city, and nation. Actual size of each piece, shown right, measures 15" x 22".
