About This Book

A pastor chronicles three decades of ministry in a Norwich chapel, recounting the building's erection, the formation and growth of the church and congregation, the establishment of missions and a large Sunday school, and the financial and practical challenges overcome by a modest membership; the narrative situates these local developments within wider social and religious changes of the era, is delivered in a personal commemorative address interspersed with resolutions and contemporary reflections, and closes with verses composed for the anniversary.

John Alexander

He was particularly engaged with the issues surrounding education and church practices of his time. His notable works include "A Letter of Affectionate Remonstrance Addressed to the Members of the Established Church in Norwich," which critiques the exclusive system of infant education. Alexander also delivered significant sermons, such as those commemorating the deaths of prominent figures and addressing contemporary religious concerns. His writings reflect a commitment to the Dissenting tradition and the role of faith in public life.
