TOURS OF PLACES OF WORSHIP IN REDBRIDGE – St Luke’s, 4th Nov 2025, 12.30-2pm
VENUE:- St Luke's, Baxter Rd, Ilford IG1 2HN
DATE:- Tuesday 4th November 2025
TIME:- 12.30pm-2pm
On our Annual Walks of Peace, we have the opportunity to have a short tour of some of the many Places of Worship in Redbridge. Many participants have shown interest in having more detailed visits so the Redbridge Faith Forum is organising a series of Tours of individual Places of Worship in Redbridge.
Our 3rd Tour is taking place at the Church of England Parish Church of St Luke’s, Great Ilford. It is a beautiful and fascinating church with a lot of history dating back to 1908. The church roof was destroyed during World War 2 when it was hit by a bomb and it was 14 years before it was able to be replaced. There are 3 lovely stained glass windows in the East Wall which are the work of Sir William Reynolds.
As well as exploring the church and finding more about Christian Values and worship, there will be an opportunity to visit a wonderful and very moving exhibition that is being hosted by St Luke’s Church. The exhibition is called The Forgiveness Project. Through arresting images and personal stories it explores forgiveness in the face of atrocity. https://www.theforgivenessproject.com/the-f-word-exhibition/
“I have seen the exhibition twice myself now and for me it is the most moving and helpful experience of my life – it helped me cope with my own experience when all other methods had not succeeded.” — Visitor to The Forgiveness Project exhibition.
Light refreshments will be served and there will be ample time for Q&A, looking at the exhibition and socialising. Everyone is welcome. Please do join us and enjoy learning about another one of Redbridge’s lovely Places of Worship.
