St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Richmond, Virginia)

St. Paul's Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia. Located directly across the street from the Virginia State Capitol, the church has long been a popular house of worship for political figures, including General Robert E. Lee and Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Other famous people associated with the church are Rev. Dr. Charles Minnigerode who led the church during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. The Right. Rev. John Shelby Spong, (now retired as bishop of the Diocese of Newark), began to attract national attention while rector of St. Paul’s (1969-1976).

St. Paul's was built in 1845 by members of the Monumental Church.
