I rise today to pay tribute to the Trinity Episcopal Church of Lawrence. Kansas. which on August 20th will celebrate its 150th year of serving Kansans attending the University of Kansas as well as residents of Lawrence. Lawrence has a long and vibrant history of religious diversity. dating back to its founding prior to the Civil War by immigrants who sought to establish Kansas as a state where slavery was prohibited. I am pleased to have this opportunity to place into the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD an article originally published in the Lawrence JournalWorld which details the history of several of Lawrences original EXTENSIONS OF REMARKS. Vol. 152.
