U-Cafe 28 May -In the Footsteps of William Gaskell

Interested in Manchester or Unitarian history?

Come along to Cross Street Chapel (7.oopm for 7.30pm) on Thursday 28 May 2009.

William Gaskell served for almost 56 years as minister of Cross Street Chapel in the centre of 19th-century Victorian Manchester, addressing the issues of his day, often amid great controversy.

John Midgley, an admirer of William, recently served for ten years as Cross Street Minister in a much-altered city and in a very different age, with altogether different issues to face and controversies to handle.

He will offer some reflections on the life and times of Rev. William Gaskell in the 19th century, with comparisons with his ministry of the same chapel in the 20th-2lst century
