A brief history of the Old Meeting House Congregational Church

As the current Pastor of the Old Meeting House, I bid you warmly welcome to our ancient Chapel. It has been my privilege, over the years, to greet hundreds of visitors, and to paint word-pictures of our long history - which is not only enthralling, but also culturally significant. I myself am still learning about it. You, too, may have questions; and I believe the following pages will answer some of them. Question One for most visitors is: "What's this Book of Sports I've heard about?" In this little guide, I will give a short explanation - as well as an overview of the Congregational Church, our beliefs, and significant aspects of our history. It will be a challenge with so few pages at my disposal; but I'm keen to spread the word about why this Chapel is such a cultural landmark - not only for Norwich and England, but for the Christian Church across the Atlantic. I am not the first to point out that the word "history" is really "His-story." The Old Meeting House is a rich spiritual well, wherein many have imbibed the Waters of Life. As you spend time here on your visit, I pray that you may experience God's peace - and, at the same moment, receive a sprinkling of the faith of our Early Fathers, who lovingly built this Chapel during difficult days of our English Nation's history.
