28th March
Launch of ‘An Architectural History of the Church of Ireland’
A new book, ‘An Architectural History of the Church of Ireland’ by Michael O’Neill, will be launched next Tuesday, March 28 2023, at 6pm in the Irish Architectural Archive on Merrion Square, Dublin 2.
Published by Church of Ireland Publishing, the book will be launched by Dr Sandra O’Connell, Director of Architecture and Communications at the RIAI, with a response by the Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Revd Dr Michael Jackson.
Using a significant trove of new and previously unexplored archival material from the RCB Library, this new book provides a definitive account of the architectural history of the Church of Ireland. Dr O’Neill adopts a thematic and historical approach that will assist the reader to interpret ecclesiastical buildings, explore histories and evolving traditions of use, and help broaden an appreciation and understanding of the uniqueness and significance of the architectural legacy.
The book will be available to purchase on the night at a launch offer price of €40. It will be available to purchase online at https://store.ireland.anglican.org/store/
