Our story begins in the early 1900's when a young English churchman of independant means, coming from an old English family, went to study church music and theology in the beautiful surroundings of the cathedral city of York, in England.

His name was James Ingall Wedgwood, his destiny to become first Presiding Bishop of the Liberal Catholic Church.

Drawing upon the rich background and experience gathered in these early years of the twentieth century, he was later to compile with Bishop Charles Leadbeater, the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the words we use every Sunday.
