15 Nov
Summary
- St Martin-in-the-Fields celebrates 300 years of its building.
- The church in Trafalgar Square has been a hub for creativity and social action.
- The service reflects on legacy, faith, and action-driven expression.
Sunday Worship originates from London's St Martin-in-the-Fields, commemorating 300 years of its architecturally significant building. Designed by James Gibbs, the church was consecrated in 1726 and has since become a profound symbol in Trafalgar Square.
Over three centuries, St Martin's has evolved into a dynamic center for welcome, encounter, creativity, and social action. It has been a crucible for new ideas and organizations, extending their influence far beyond the church's physical boundaries.
The service, led by the Revd Dr Sam Wells, will delve into James Gibbs's enduring legacy. It will also explore the vision, faith, and generosity that have shaped the church throughout its history, highlighting its role as a birthplace for new possibilities and faith expressed through tangible action. Music will be provided by St Martin's Voices and organist Gavin Roberts.
