The Church Congress, Portrait Sketches at the Meetings in the Albert Hall
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that offers a glimpse into a significant event in religious history. Created by Sydney Prior Hall and now part of a private collection, this print showcases the atmosphere and personalities present during The Church Congress. The image captures the grandeur of the Albert Hall, where clergy members from various denominations gathered to discuss important matters concerning modern society and religion. Archdeacon Diggle can be seen engaged in conversation with Mr. George Livesey, reflecting their shared interest in church bazaars and experimental forms of worship. Other notable figures depicted include Canon Newbolt, known for his speculation on religious matters, as well as Prebendary Webb Peploe and Mr. Stephen Bourne who are portrayed as listeners during an Anglican service led by the Dean of Canterbury. The print also highlights some contentious issues discussed at The Church Congress such as gambling and maintaining services amidst changing times. It features Reverend Firth emphasizing the importance of employment while denouncing gambling as one of "the three great curses". Additionally, it portrays Bishop of London engaging with Reverend Principal Robertson on topics like ritual principles and religious orders. This lithograph serves not only as a historical record but also provides insight into how religion played a role in shaping society during that era.
