The origin of the Sons and Friends of the Clergy goes back to 1655, difficult times for destitute clergy under Oliver Cromwell. Nowadays, the charity is widely supported and holds an annual Service/ Festival at St Paul’s Cathedral, this year, on 10 May. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs and some 80 Livery Companies were present.The Sermon was given by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, drawn from readings from Deuteronomy and 1 John, which set out the care God has taken to ensure His people are looked after.
