St Gabriel's, Cricklewood, is an Anglican church in Cricklewood, Brent, London, United Kingdom. St Gabriel's has links to New Wine〔(St Gabriels, Cricklewood Ship of Fools Review )〕 and Holy Trinity Brompton Church,〔(HTB Related Churches )〕 and its vicar, Jane Morris, has been elected to the General Synod of the Church of England.〔(General Synod of the Church of England )〕 The church has been positively reviewed by the ecumenical Ship of Fools website.〔(St Gabriel's, Cricklewood Ship of Fools Review )〕 ==History== The first Church of England service in the Cricklewood area was held in 1891, led by Rev George Marsh Clibborn. It took place in a milliner’s shop in Oaklands Road. Later meetings took place in a local school room. In 1891, a building known as the ‘Iron Church’ was erected on the area where St Gabriel's now stands, and which opened for worship in that same year. A further church was constructed alongside the Iron Church, which opened in 1897. Further building works were completed in 1906.〔(History of St Gabriel's, Cricklewood )〕 A large church hall was later built on Anson Road, and after the second world war sold to the local council for community use. The local council then sold the building to the Dar Al-Islam Foundation.〔(Dar Al-Islam Foundation )〕 The present church hall is located in a smaller building, next to the former hall, on Chichele Road.〔(History of St Gabriel's, Cricklewood )〕 The St Gabriel's church organ was a post-war neo-classical Walker organ.〔(Church Organ Link )〕 The organ was used by a number of organists, including Brian Bromley, Organist Emeritus 〔(Brian Bromley )〕 and Alan Harverson, Professor of the Royal Academy of Music; and many choirs, including the Linden Singers.〔(Linden Singers With Alan Harverson )〕 The church area is located close to Willesden Green tube station, in a now predominantly residential and ethnically diverse area.〔(St Gabriel's, Cricklewood Ship of Fools Review )〕 The current vicar is Jane Morris, who has been at St Gabriel's since 2005.〔(St Gabriel's, Cricklewood Ship of Fools Review )〕 In autumn 2010, Morris stood for election to serve the Diocese of London at the General Synod of the Church of England.〔(Jane Morris Election Website )〕 Morris was proposed by Revd John Coles, the leader of New Wine and was elected to the General Synod.〔(General Synod of the Church of England )〕 Morris also recently backed a unity statement against plans by the English Defence League to protest at an event held by a Muslim charity in Wembley.〔(Unite Against Facism Wembley Statement )〕 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「St Gabriel's, Cricklewood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
