EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jeremy Collier, Non-juring Churchman: A Defiant Figure in English History" This evocative photograph print captures the stern and unyielding countenance of Jeremy Collier (1650-1726), a prominent English Churchman who refused to take the oath of allegiance to William and Mary in 1689. Collier's defiance earned him the title of a Non-juring Churchman, a group of Anglican clergy who rejected the new monarchs due to their belief that James II, Collier's former monarch, was the rightful ruler. Collier's unwavering commitment to his faith and principles is evident in this portrait, which captures the intensity and resilience of his gaze. Born in 1650, Collier was a man of deep convictions, who, despite facing persecution and exile, never wavered in his belief in the divine right of kings and the importance of religious freedom. The photograph print, which dates back to the late 17th or early 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the tumultuous political and religious landscape of England during this period. Collier's refusal to take the oath of allegiance to William and Mary was a bold and courageous act, one that set him apart from his contemporaries and earned him a place in English history. As a Non-juring Churchman, Collier faced numerous challenges, including the loss of his livelihood and the threat of imprisonment. However, he remained steadfast in his beliefs, continuing to preach and write about the importance of religious freedom and the divine right of kings. This photograph print serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and conviction of individuals like Jeremy Collier, who, in the face of adversity, refused to compromise their beliefs and instead chose to stand up for what they believed was right. It is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the importance of remaining true to one's principles, even in the most challenging of times.
