Description: A CELEBRATION OF FAITH. Program for a specially composed Service to Welcome His Holiness Pope John Paul II on his Pilgrimage to Canterbury (May 29, 1982). Canterbury, England: A. & J. Purchese, Limited, 1982. Softcover, 5.75” x 8.25”, 15 pages. The historic pilgrimage of Pope (now Saint) John Paul II to Canterbury in 1982 marked the first time that a Roman Pontiff ever visited the primatial Cathedral of Canterbury, England. His visit hearkened back to the time of Pope Gregory the Great who sent the monk Augustine to establish Christianity in Britain. This Service incorporated the veneration of the Canterbury Gospels, a sixth-century volume traditionally believed to have been a gift from Pope Gregory to Augustine. Pope John Paul II, as well as Anglican Archbishop Robert Runcie and other religious leaders, renewed their Baptismal vows and affirmed their intention to work for the reunion of the churches. Laid in with this historic original program are the texts of the Pope's Homily and the Common Declaration agreed upon by the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury
