This engraving, titled "A Synod of English Bishops at Calcutta" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print showcases an assembly of esteemed figures from the Church of England gathered together for a synod in Calcutta. The image portrays bishops and clergymen from various regions, including Bombay, Madras, Chota Nagpur, Rangoon, Travancore, Lahore, Colombo, Lucknow and more. Their presence highlights the widespread influence and reach of the Anglican Church across India during that time. The composition captures both religious diversity and unity as representatives from different religious orders are depicted alongside each other. The inclusion of an imam emphasizes interfaith dialogue and cooperation within this historic gathering. Set against the backdrop of bustling Calcutta (now Kolkata), one can sense the vibrancy and energy surrounding this event. The city's rich cultural heritage is subtly hinted at through references to Indian traditions and customs present throughout the artwork. This engraving not only serves as a visual record but also invites contemplation on themes such as religion's role in society and its ability to bridge divides. It stands as a testament to India's multicultural fabric while showcasing how faith can bring people together despite their differences. Overall, this print provides us with an intriguing window into an important historical moment where clergy members convened to discuss matters pertaining to their shared mission in colonial India.
