Buckingham Baptist Chapel is a Baptist church in Clifton, Bristol, England. It was built in 1842 to the designs of Richard Shackleton Pope, and is an example of Gothic Revival architecture, being particularly noteworthy in that it is one of the earliest Baptist chapels built in this style.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II * listed building.〔 The chapel describes itself as 'independent evangelical baptist'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Buckingham Chapel Website )〕 It is a former member of the Baptist Union, which it left in 7 April 1972 (hence 'independent') due to a membership decision based on 'lack of clarity in its teachings on the deity of Christ'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Buckingham Chapel Website )〕 The church has been without a full-time Pastor since the summer of 2007. The church currently has 5 deacons, with varying roles in the upkeep of the church and its ministries, in addition to a church worker involved mainly in preaching and outreach ministries, particularly with Romanian and Roma communities in Bristol.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Buckingham Chapel Website )〕 The church has several main meetings per week; two Sunday services and a midweek prayer and bible study meeting on Wednesdays.
