DID YOU KNOW...
Charles Gore DD (1853 - 1932) was the first Bishop of Birmingham installed in 1905. The second parish church of Birmingham, St. Philip's became the city's cathedral after becoming a new see after Gore helped to divide the see of Worcester where he was previously bishop. He was the leader of the Christian Socialist movement, and licensed the first women 'lay readers' in 1917. He was an advocate of friendly co-operation between the various Christian denominations. His statue by Thomas Stirling Lee stands proud by the entrance to St. Philip's Cathedral.
