Reference excerpt

Washington Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church is a religious organization and historic church building in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.. The building originally housed the United Methodist Episcopal Church. It is one of the few surviving examples of Gothic Revival churches in St. Louis. It has been listed as one of the National Register of Historic Places since 2005, for the architecture.

History

United Methodist Episcopal Church (1880–1915) Located a few blocks to the northeast of the campus of St. Louis University, the church is one of only a few surviving buildings in the 19th century "Piety Hill" neighborhood. The Gothic Revival style building was constructed in 1880 from a design by architect August M. Beinke (1846–1901). It was originally a Methodist church, the United Methodist Episcopal Church. After being badly damaged by fire in 1911 the church was rebuilt from plans by architect William Anelett Cann. The building is constructed of rough-cut limestone with brick. After the interior of the church was rebuilt in 1911, features were added such as the vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows. Attached at the church is the parish house designed in 1883 by an unknown architect.

Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion The St. Louis congregation which became Washington Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Zion church was founded in about 1865 as home prayer meetings with the first known pastor, Gary Matthews. After its founding and over the years, the location of the Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion congregation moved around the neighborhood. In 1915, the United Methodist Episcopal Church congregation decided to sell their building to Benjamin Garland Shaw and the Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion congregation. Shaw was well-known for his fundraising skills. Under Shaw's leadership, the church opened the AME Zion Social Center in 1915 and offered free classes taught by professionals, including child study and home economics, literature, current events, music, writing, and commercial law. The principal and teachers from the nearby Sumner High School (the only Black school at the time) taught at the church. His work brought him local and national accolades; in 1920, Shaw left St. Louis to become a vicar bishop. In the 1970s, Rev. Richard Laymon Fisher served as the pastor.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church

In research
Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics African Methodist Episcopal Zion churches, Buildings and structures completed in 1911, Churches on the National Register of Historic Places in Missouri, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Washington Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
