Episcopal

Episcopal T he eldest girl in a family of thirteen. This was Rachel Mordecai Lazarus . Ever heard of her? She was an inspiration to many because of her boldness. Rachel Mordecai Lazarus was born in July 1,1788 to Jacob and Judith. In 1809, Mordecais opened a girl’s boarding school, with Rachel Lazarus as the head instructor. In 1821, Rachel married a widower, Aaron Lazarus, which led her to focus more on religion, to teach their kids. As she learend some wonderful and suprising facts about Christanity , She descided to follow her faith and convert to Christanity .   But, her mean husband threatened to take away their kids. Rachel had no choice, but to continue as   a Jew . But, her faith and belief as a Christian.   Finally the family gave up and wanted her yo die in peace, so they baptized her into the Episcopal Church. “First as a Jew, later as a Christian, and always as a responsible women .”
