The 150th Anniversary of the Ritualism Riots

Here are some links, pictures, and press coverage, from the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury on 20 January 2010 for a service to mark the point at which the riots reached their peak.

the Archbishop's sermon is here.
the service booklet for his visit is here.
the London diocesan website has a brief report here.
the Stepney Area website will soon include a more detailed report.
the texts of short papers given by three church historians at a seminar on 18 March 2010 at the church to explore what happened, and why, are here

East End Life included this historical article in the 18 January edition, and this report of the visit in the 25 January edition:

The East London Advertiser included reports on 21 January (go to page 20) and 28 January (go to page 10).

Ruth Gledhill, the religious affairs correspondent of The Times, included this on her blog [she did not, in fact, manage to get to the service as she had hoped].

THE DUNEDIN CONNECTION
Bryan King's son, grandson and great-grandson were priests in New Zealand, and his chalice and vestments were presented to St Paul's Cathedral, Dunedin on Easter Day some years ago. We marked this link with special prayers at the Festal Eucharist on Easter Day 2010. See here for more details.
