St. James' Anglican Church (Parish of Saint James, Vancouver) is a unique church building in the Diocese of New Westminster of the Anglican Church of Canada located at the north-east corner of East Cordova and Gore Streets in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The original building was completed in the spring of 1881 on Alexander Street to the north west of the present site and was sponsored by Captain James Raymur, the manager of Hastings Mill. This building burned down in the Great Vancouver Fire of 1886. The heat of the fire melted the church bell into a puddle that was eventually put on display at the Museum of Vancouver. The present and third church building was designed by Adrian Gilbert Scott and is the second to be built at this location on land donated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Its design is a combination of Art Deco, Romanesque Revival, Byzantine Revival, and Gothic Revival architecture. The walls are made of concrete, while the roof is made of slate. The building was constructed between 1935 and 1937 and consecrated in 1938. St. James was the first Anglican church in Vancouver, formerly named Granville, until the establishment of a local church (daughter church) that would eventually become the congregation of Christ Church Cathedral. The parish is Anglo-Catholic. Offices of Morning and Evening Prayer are said daily. Low Mass is said daily except Saturdays. Solemn (High) Mass is sung every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. while Evensong and Benediction is sung on the last Sunday of the month. Brian Rocksborough-Smith is St. James' Bishop's Warden. The People's Warden is Reece Wrightman and the Associate Warden is Betty Carlson. The position of Rector of St James' parish is presently vacant. The interim 'Priest-in-Charge' is Father Kevin Hunt. ==References== 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. James Anglican Church (Vancouver)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
