Description:

 

Ben Lieberman has been identified as the founder of the modern chappel movement in the United States.  In 1957, he founded the Moxon Chappel in San Francisco, the first modern chappel in the United States.  During the 1960s he was instrumental in founding the New York Chappel and Westchester Chappel.

            Material in this series documents Lieberman's involvement in the modern chappel movement in general, including fielding of inquiries from throughout the nation, as well as his active participation in local chappels and joint meetings of chappels.  Among the files are the proposals and bylaws for the first chappel, photographs the New York Chappel's summer chappel encampment, histories and rosters for chappels, and numerous keepsakes printed by members of the chappels.  See folders F61-F65 in series I.1. for publications printed by Lieberman's Herity Press for various chappels.
