"The Bishop of Ripon: A Journey Through the Ecclesiastical and Political Landscape" Step into the world of the Bishop of Ripon, where faith intertwines with power and tradition. As part of The Coronation Clergy, this esteemed figure stands alongside the Archbishops and Bench of Bishops, embodying a rich history. Witnessed in "The Opening of Parliament by the King, " on that momentous 16th January, we see how even within political realms, spiritual leaders like the Bishop play a significant role. In "In the House of Lords, " Peers Spiritual gather to lend their wisdom and guidance. Yet it is not solely within grand halls that our bishop's influence can be felt. From "The Home Rule Bill in the House of Lords" to "Reopening Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds, " these engravings showcase his dedication to both church affairs and local communities. One cannot overlook moments such as "The Installation of the Bishop of Ripon. " Here, amidst an awe-inspiring procession through Nave Cathedral, we witness a symbolically charged event marking new beginnings for both clergy and congregation alike. Beyond ecclesiastical matters lie broader concerns. At The Church Congress in Sheffield, our bishop joins other prominent members to address pressing issues facing society at large. Meanwhile, during times when injustice prevails - as seen in "The Persecution of Jews in Russia" - he takes part in meetings at Guildhall to stand against discrimination. As time progresses towards Her Majesty's Jubilee Year 1887 – commemorated by “A Momento” engraving – we encounter The Right Reverend Dr Bickersteth; first as he assumes his position as New Bishop then later celebrated simply as 'Bishop. ' These images capture his unwavering commitment throughout his tenure. To conclude this captivating journey through engravings capturing various aspects surrounding him - from solemn ceremonies with fellow Archbishops and Bishops to his involvement in political matters.
