EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Ernest Roland Wilberforce, the revered Bishop of Newcastle-on-Tyne, is depicted in deep contemplation, his serious expression conveying a sense of wisdom and spiritual depth. Born on October 11, 1840, in London, England, Wilberforce was the eldest son of the renowned anti-slavery campaigner and politician, William Wilberforce. Following in his father's footsteps, Wilberforce dedicated his life to the Church and was ordained as a deacon in 1865 and a priest in 1866. In 1882, Wilberforce was appointed Bishop of Newcastle-on-Tyne, a position he held until his death on March 31, 1907. During his tenure, he worked tirelessly to improve the living conditions of the working class and the poor in the region. He was a strong advocate for education and established several schools and colleges to provide opportunities for those who might otherwise have been denied them. Wilberforce was also a prominent figure in the Anglican Church, serving as the President of the Church Congress from 1891 to 1892. He was known for his progressive views on social issues and his commitment to the welfare of his community. In this photograph, taken during his time as Bishop of Newcastle-on-Tyne, Wilberforce is seen in his study, surrounded by books and papers, no doubt pondering the many challenges and opportunities facing him and his flock. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the service of others, following in the footsteps of his famous father while forging his own path as a leader and advocate for social justice. Ernest Roland Wilberforce's legacy continues to inspire and influence the Church and the people of Newcastle-on-Tyne to this day.
