“The Congress Record” is a collection of high-quality recordings of sermons, services, music, and the ambient sounds of the 1963 Toronto Anglican Congress. Beautifully recorded, highly atmospheric, and perfect for lovers of podcasts. These recordings originally comprised a double-sided LP record.

Festival of Anglican Church Music sung by the Congress Festival Choir in association with the Toronto Diocesan Choir School with an introduction by the Most Rev’d Arthur Michael Ramsey, MA DD. We are most grateful to the ‘LP Rarities’ for sharing this vital piece of the documentary record.
