Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

As early as 1900, Bishop John Hazen White sent Archdeacon George Torrence to Wabash to attempt to organize a congregation. In 1901, Torrence reported that he had used the Woodman's Fraternal Hall to conduct services in Fridays twice a month, but no mission was ever formally organized.
In 1994, at the urging of Bishop Francis Gray, a group of local Episcopalians attempted a telephone campaign to drum up interest in the formation of a church. On 5 March 1995, the first services of the Church of the Resurrection were held in the Tudor Room of the Honeywell Center. About 20 parishioners attended under the ministry of the Rev. Robert Bizzaro, dean of the Cathedral Church of St. James. Suzanne Stiene was also a lay leader. The mission was formally recognized by the convention in 1997, but it was never able to take hold and folded soon afterward.
