PCT / 台南中會. Same Hanzi 台灣基督長老教會 as the denomination in Taiwan — here it is PCT, not a U.S. TPC.

Network

Vault coverage

  • Source hub: |eastgatebarclay.org — full-domain Tier 2 archive (home, 教會歷史, 部會事工, English history) under knowledge/web-archives/eastgatebarclay-org/; entity/fact index at knowledge/research/eastgatebarclay-org-entities.md; watched live-small via source-continuity registry id=eastgatebarclay-org.
  • Cross-check (deepen 2026-09-11): the 2003 centennial renaming and the adjacent 18號公園 → 巴克禮紀念公園 rename are independently recorded on |Thomas Barclay (巴克禮)‘s page, corroborating this timeline.
  • Successor note: tenth pastor |劉炳熹 later became fifth senior pastor of |Chunglun Presbyterian Church (中崙教會) in 2026 — the two vault pages deliberately disambiguate each other.

Vault coverage (deepen 2026-09-14)

  • Absorbed from the source hub |eastgatebarclay.org (graph-absorption notes there): the church maintained 七間支會 — 南門, 仁德, 東寧, 後甲, 富強, 長榮, 德光; 2018 — Elizabeth Memorial Chapel (伊莉莎白紀念教會); 2022 — 東門巴克禮歷史教育推廣協會 established; the archive also covers 松年大學 (Silver College) and 部會事工 (officer structure). Barclay documentary assets are on the 世界記憶國家名錄 (National Memory of the World Register).

SKIP-with-reason: corpus grep for 東門巴克禮 / 東門教會 / 巴克禮 across content/works and content/articles returns a single hit — the 陳能通 / 228 article already absorbed into the Timeline above this pass; the works index carries no Barclay memoir material. Page already saturated from the eastgatebarclay.org source hub (支會 network, chapel, 協會, 十七任 offices); nothing further absorbable from community corpus.
