Black History Month Highlight (from ECCT News)
Remembering Faithful Episcopalian Nat "King" Cole
World-renowned Jazz musician Nat "King" Cole died on February 15, 1965. A faithful Episcopalian, Cole helped raise funds for the Diocese of Los Angeles camping program, Camp Stevens. Sadly, he also experienced racism and prejudice in The Episcopal Church. After approaching the rector of his local parish, St. James' in the City, and asking if he would be welcome, he was refused by the Vestry. Unhappy with this response, the then-rector asked him to sing as a soloist at the Easter service. Cole sang, and the vestry responded by requesting the rector's resignation. In a surprising turn of events, Cole's family chose St. James' in the City to hold his funeral. 

Learn more about Cole's efforts to support Camp Stevens and his lasting influence on St. James' in the City.
