A New Cause Area In October 1819, my grandmother's grandfather's grandfather, Hiram Bingham I, stood with his wife, Sybil, and his friends outside Park Street Church in Boston and bade farewell to family before venturing into the unknown.

They would spend the next five months on a cramped ship sailing to a foreign land of strange people full of, quote, destitution, degradation, and barbarism, end quote.

I was going to Park Street Church in Boston with Harold John Ockengay, evangelical statesman of the first order.

Park Street Church in Boston, I don't know if you're familiar with it, but it's right across the street from the Boston Common and one block down from the State House.
