The Rev. Mr. Gorham, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Rev. Mr. Gorham, 1850. Portrait of British vicar George Cornelius Gorham whose views on baptism were seen by church authorities as being at odds with Anglican doctrine. "The cause of the great diversity of opinion as to the doctrine of our Church on the baptism of infants, is that the Church is not, in reality, uniform in her teaching". Gorham...was preferred by Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, in January, 1846, to the perpetual vicarage of St. Just, Penwith, in Cornwall, the most western parish, except one, with a population, Mr. Gorham says, of between 7000 and 8000 miners. His differences with the Bishop [of Exeter] began soon after his appointment'. Gorham said...he hinted, in a manner not to be misunderstood, that I belonged to a most dangerous set of men and he plainly told me that he no longer trusted me, and would narrowly watch any one who applied for my curacy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
