“Over the years, the generosity of successive monarchs resulted in other gifts received and cherished by the church. Including a set of Queen Anne silver communion vessels, that in 1759 were removed from the church by Governor Charles Lawrence and presented to St. Paul’s Church, Halifax. Governor Lawrence is remembered as the architect of the deportation of the Acadians from the Colony of Nova Scotia. Despite being a controversial figure, a monument was erected in his honour – in St.
We have very long memories here in Annapolis Royal. After the above post, another friend, Alan Melanson said that about five years ago he took the Anglican bishop for Quebec and Atlantic Canada to task about returning that silver communion service to St. Luke’s Church. Melanson challenged the bishop to a public debate justifying why it should remain in Halifax. Melanson hasn’t heard anything – crickets, as they say.
This is a new day – it has been 13 years after all. A true gesture of good will would be to return this meaningful set of silver to the place where it rightfully belongs – here in Queen Anne’s town.
