Henry Gandy (1649–1734) was an English non-juring bishop. Life The son of John Gandy of South Brent, Devon, he was born on 14 October 1649; his father was a priest of the Church of England who had been deprived of his living during the English Civil War. He entered Merchant Taylors' School in 1663, and went on to Oriel College, Oxford, where he matriculated on 15 March 1667.

At that point Henry Dodwell, Robert Nelson and Francis Brokesby returned to the Anglica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nonjuring Schism
The Nonjuring schism refers to a split in the State religion, established churches of England, Scotland and Ireland, following the deposition and exile of James II of England, James II and VII in the 1688 Glorious Revolution. As a condition of office, clergy were required to swear allegiance to the ruling monarch; for various reasons, some refused to take the oath to his successors William III of England, William III and II and Mary II of England, Mary II. These individuals were referred to as ''Non-juring'', from the Latin verb ''iūrō'', or ''jūrō'', meaning "to swear an oath". In the Church of England, an estimated 2% of priests refused to swear allegiance in 1689, including nine bishops. Ordinary clergy were allowed to keep their positions but after efforts to compromise failed, the six surviving bishops were removed in 1691. The schismatic Non-Juror Church was formed in 1693 when William Lloyd (bishop of Norwich), Bishop Lloyd appointed his own bishops. His action was opp ...

St Pancras Old Church
St Pancras Old Church is a Church of England parish church in Somers Town, Central London. It is dedicated to the Roman martyr Saint Pancras, and is believed by many to be one of the oldest sites of Christian worship in England. The church is situated on Pancras Road in the London Borough of Camden, with the surrounding area and its international railway station taking its name.

The reasons for this were probably the vulnerability of the plain around the church to flooding (the River Fleet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
