Westminster Abbey
On the 7th September 2010, College House Alumni, friends and supporters and Christ's College alumni celebrated 160 years of history with a special evensong service at Westminster Abbey, London. Special prayers were made for the College marking its 160th birthday, special prayers were also said for the residents of Christchurch and Canterbury, following the September 4th earthquake. Guests to the service were then treated to a special tour of the abbey and a small reception afterwards in the Jerusalem Chamber, hosted by the Dean of Westminster. The service was made possible by kind permission of the Dean, following a request from London alumnus Paul Johnstone (CH 1378).
Our alumni and friends were delighted to share in such a special occasion and our thanks goes to alumnus Paul Johnstone, Ali Ballantyne and the Dean of Westminster Abbey for making the occasion possible, and to the Dean of Christchurch, Oxford, Rev Dr Christopher Lewis who also joined us for the occasion.
