EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Reverend James Harrison Rigg (1821-1909) - A Pioneering Nonconformist Churchman and Two-Term President of the Methodist Conference James Harrison Rigg, born in 1821, was a prominent figure in the Nonconformist church movement during the Victorian era. His dedication and commitment to the Methodist faith led him to serve as the President of the Methodist Conference not once, but twice – in 1878 and again in 1892. Reverend Rigg's influence on the Methodist Church extended beyond his leadership roles. He was a passionate advocate for religious education and social reform, using his platform to promote equality and improve the lives of the less fortunate. His unwavering commitment to these causes earned him respect and admiration from his peers and the wider community. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures the distinguished appearance and serious demeanor of Reverend Rigg. His piercing gaze and well-groomed attire reflect the gravity of his position as a respected religious leader. The autograph inscription below the image, dated 1892, serves as a testament to the personal connection between the reverend and the person who owned the photograph. As a nonconformist churchman, Reverend Rigg represented a growing movement that challenged the established Church of England's dominance in English religious life. His presidency of the Methodist Conference during two separate terms further solidified his role as a key figure in the Nonconformist church and the broader religious landscape of the time. This evocative image of Reverend James Harrison Rigg offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable connection to the history of Nonconformist churchmanship and the Methodist Conference during the late 19th century.
