St. Timothy's, Columbia, honors Bishop Beckham
On Sunday, October 1, 2006,
at 3:00 p.m. the Beckham Quiet Garden at St. Timothy's in Columbia was dedicated in memory of William A. Beckham, sixth Bishop of Upper South Carolina. Bishop Dorsey Henderson led the dedication. Creighton Boggs, member of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church performed a solo, Consider the Lilies, with a flutist accompaniment. The Beckham
family along with friends and colleagues were in attendance for the service.
The Beckham Quiet Garden is located on the grounds of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church at the corner of Lincoln and Calhoun Streets in Columbia, SC. The garden is designed for meditation, reflection and prayer.
St. Timothy’s has applied for affiliation with the Quiet Garden Trust, a charity registered in the UK. Their vision is “to initiate and resource a network of local opportunities … for prayer, silence, reflection and the appreciation of beauty; for learning about Christian life and spirituality; and for experiencing creativity and healing in the context of God’s love.”
The Beckham Garden Committee would like to thank all those whose contributions made this dream a reality. Contributions are still being accepted. If you would like to make a donation, please send your check to:
