The Soldier Bishop: Ellison Capers, a special exhibit created by Faith Memorial Chapel, Cedar Mountain, NC, now on display at the Upcountry History Museum, presents the unshakable faith of Rt. Reverend Ellison Capers and how his fortitude created a lasting legacy.

Though he lost loved ones and survived many of his own near-death experiences in some of the most horrific engagements of the American Civil War (1861-1865), Capers’ trust in God and the path before him never faltered. In 1865, at the age of 28, he was promoted in the military to Brigadier General receiving recognition for his leadership and distinguished service. After the war Capers was elected Secretary of State for South Carolina. Even so, his calling to Christ was overpowering. The Governor told him, “You can be a Governor, Senator, or anything you like. You will be a fool to give all this to become a preacher.”

In 1866, Capers accepted a call to Christ Church Episcopal in Greenville, South Carolina, where he served for 20 years. He was consecrated as bishop of the State of South Carolina in 1893 and moved to Charleston. To escape the summer heat, he purchased a plot of land in Cedar Mountain, NC, and erected a cottage. This inspired in Mrs. Capers a dream to erect an Episcopal chapel for the local population. In 1894, this dream became a reality, and “Faith Chapel” was built.

“Faith Chapel” fell into disrepair following Capers death in 1908. In honor of his enduring influence and guidance, a disciple of Capers, the Reverend Dr. Alexander Mitchell from Greenville, began a movement to rebuild the chapel and dedicated the new church, “Faith Memorial Chapel,” in Capers’ memory in 1941.

The exhibit shares the story of Ellison Capers and the history of Faith Memorial Chapel. Historical artifacts, including Capers’ original military sword, the musket balls that nearly killed him, his war diaries and handwritten letters to his wife from the battlefield, and the preserved renderings for rebuilding the Chapel dedicated to his memory, highlight key moments of Capers life’s journey through war, faith, and salvation.

Drive through the Upstate’s biggest, nighttime Christmas wonderland as 32 million colors set the sky ablaze, synchronized to the music of your favorite holiday classics.

Take your time. Park and enjoy. The show lasts 30 minutes, but drive around the track as many times as you’d like!

Santa Land and Ice Skating will be closed due to COVID-19, but you can enjoy feeding the animals inside our Petting Zoo or from your car using our drive-thru lane! We are open rain or shine, 7 days a week!

Our group holds a monthly general meeting on the last Tuesday of the month to discuss current and new business. Anyone is welcome to attend the meeting. We try to discuss our current challenges, as well as brainstorm ways to resolve the challenges through planning fund raising, adoption, and public awareness events. You can attend just to find out more about what we do. Your presence is appreciated and input welcome. You are not required to order dinner, but you can. There will be others there who are not replying on this Meetup. I hope to see you there!

Feline Lifeline is a non-profit
(Registered 501c3 Charitable Organization)
staffed entirely by volunteers.

Our presence on Meetup is to find others interested in volunteering with our group. We do not take in found or unwanted cats or kittens.

Volunteers help local homeless cats living outdoors in groups (colonies) by feeding them daily, removing kittens and tame adults so that they can be offered for adoption after spay/neuter and other vet work has been done, and sterilizing those too timid for adoption so they can live out their lives where they are without reproducing.

The number of cats helped by Feline Lifeline depends entirely upon donations made to Feline Lifeline.

Feline Lifeline also educates the public on how to help homeless cats through group presentations and publications, and by advising individuals who want to assist cats they have found.

Unfortunately, Feline Lifeline does not have a shelter.

Cats and kittens rescued from colonies managed by Feline Lifeline are kept in the homes of volunteers until there is room for them at Feline Lifeline adoption centers.

Therefore, Feline Lifeline cannot accept animals found or given up by others.

Nevertheless, Feline Lifeline volunteers will assist people in finding homes for stray cats or for felines they can no longer keep, as long as the person needing help with this is willing to house the cat and do any necessary vet work until a new home is found.
