EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of profound transformation in the life of Rigep Dandulo, a Turkish resident in England, as he embraced Christianity and underwent baptism at the Exeter Chapel on the Strand in London, circa 1657. The chapel, a place of worship for Protestant dissenters, was a beacon of religious freedom in a time when religious conversion was a risky endeavor for immigrants from non-Christian backgrounds. Rigep Dandulo's decision to convert was a brave one, as Turkey was predominantly Muslim, and England was experiencing religious tensions between Protestants and Catholics. The image shows Rigep, dressed in a traditional Turkish robe and turban, standing in the baptismal font, surrounded by a group of clergymen and witnesses. The expression on his face is one of deep contemplation and determination, as he takes this significant step towards embracing a new faith and identity. The Exeter Chapel, located in the heart of London, was an important center for religious dissenters, and many converts from various backgrounds sought refuge and spiritual guidance there. The chapel's openness to religious diversity made it a symbol of religious tolerance and acceptance, and Rigep's baptism was a testament to the chapel's inclusive spirit. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex religious landscape of 17th-century England and the courage and determination of individuals like Rigep Dandulo who dared to defy societal expectations and embrace new beliefs. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring human desire for spiritual growth and the importance of religious freedom and tolerance.
