EDITORS COMMENTS
Preaching at St. Paul's Cross in the Seventeenth Century, (1947)". This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - an open-air Christian service held outside St. Paul's Cathedral in London during the seventeenth century. The image depicts a minister passionately delivering his sermon from a pulpit positioned at the bottom left of the frame. The inscription accompanying this powerful scene is taken from Haggai 1, reminding viewers of the importance of building God's house and not neglecting it for personal gain. It serves as a poignant reminder that even centuries ago, people faced similar challenges and distractions when it came to their faith. Published in "English Hymns and Hymn Writers" by Adam Fox, this engraving captures both the religious fervor of the time and provides valuable insight into social history. The congregation gathered around St. Paul's Cross reflects diverse individuals united by their shared belief in Christianity. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to bustling streets filled with devoted worshippers seeking spiritual guidance amidst London's cityscape. This photograph stands as a testament to British heritage, showcasing how religion played an integral role within society during this period. With its rich historical context and striking monochrome aesthetic, this print offers us a glimpse into an era where preaching outdoors was not only commonplace but also served as a powerful means of spreading faith throughout England.
