EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1903, The Reverend Wilson Carlile of the Church Army is depicted in the pulpit of St. Mary-at-Hill, where he served as rector, delivering a sermon with an unexpected accessory - a trombone in hand. This unique combination of faith and music made Reverend Carlile a renowned figure in his time, making him the first subject of The Tatler magazine's Preachers in their Pulpits series. Born in 1866, Reverend Carlile was a man of many talents. He was an ordained minister, a brass band conductor, and a passionate advocate for social justice. His unconventional approach to preaching, which often included the use of music, drew large crowds to his sermons. The trombone, a brass instrument known for its powerful and resonant sound, became a symbol of Reverend Carlile's innovative style. He believed that music could reach people in a way that words alone could not and used it to enhance his messages of hope, love, and compassion. This photograph captures the essence of Reverend Carlile's charisma and his ability to connect with his congregation through the power of music and the word of God. The image is a testament to his unique ministry and his enduring legacy as a figure of inspiration and innovation in the world of religion and music.
