Christ Church Lausanne is an Anglican Episcopal church in Lausanne, Switzerland. Services are held in English every Sunday at 10.30 a.m. as well as on special days such as Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, during Holy Week and on Easter Sunday. A Sunday Club for children is held during regular Sunday Services during the school term. Study sessions take place during Advent and Lent. A number of more specific events are also organised throughout the year, such as the garden teas on Saturday afternoons during the summer. The Church is set in a quaint garden, planned and laid out by a well-known botanist, a former Church Warden of Christ Church and Honorary Curator of the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva, renowned for classifying tropical African flowering plants. The Church garden is organised following a taxonomic approach, featuring only plants belonging to the Rosaceae family. As a result, in addition to its roses, the garden contains a number of other interesting and beautiful plants, shrubs and trees. ==History== There has been organised Anglican worship in Lausanne since 1816. The first recorded service took place on 10 November 1816, in the Chapelle de la Mercerie (St Etienne), just below Lausanne Cathedral. In 1822, the Revd Isaac Kendal Cheesbrough began his ministry as the first permanent Chaplain, and remained in office for 35 years until his death in 1857. During this period, the place of worship changed from the Chapelle de la Mercerie to the newly constructed church at La Croix d’Ouchy (Temple des Jordils). The new church was shared with the official Vaud Protestant parish, an arrangement that remained in place for the next 39 years. The English Church held two services every Sunday, one at 11.30 a.m. and one at 3.30 p.m. The congregation was large enough that in 1864, the Church Council decided to investigate the possibility of building an English Church. George Edmund Street, a distinguished church architect famous for his Gothic revival style, designed the building. The first stone was laid on 19 June 1877 at the site just off the Avenue d’Ouchy. The building work was completed rapidly, with a service taking place the following year on 4 July 1878. The church was consecrated nine years later on 6 June 1887. The building was then enlarged by the addition of the south aisle in 1898; heating was installed at the same time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christ Church Lausanne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
