“A fortnight ago, I was honoured to hold, leaf through and read from Bishop Crowther’s Bible, used for his consecration as Bishop at the Canterbury Cathedral nearly 160 years ago (June 1864).

I felt blessed and elevated by the experience. Moreso, I was shaken, overwhelmed and I shed some tears.

Since the Bishop Crowther Documentary Film Project was announced in September, I have had the honour of speaking with individuals who are as keen as me to see the story told:

Academics. Clerics. Journalists. Friends. Family

So far, I have been told of Bishop Crowther’s personal effects that exist in Lagos, Iseyin, Lokoja and elsewhere.

A mirror. A cross. A lamp. A storeful of clothes (The story of that is for another day).

I have also been told of 3-4 scripts (stage) already written on Bishop Crowther, one or two already performed in the past. And last May, I bought a copy of “Ajayi Crowther: The Triumphs and Travails of a Legend”, a play by Femi Osofisan, one of Nigeria’s foremost writers/playwrights.

But none of the excitements I felt at these developments could match what it felt to see, hold and read from the Bible (pictured) used for Bishop Crowther’s consecration as Bishop.

I was clearly overwhelmed and it showed in my body language. In addition to the Bible, I was also shown the ink pen he wrote his many letters and journals with, and the clock/compass that guided his travels across a large area of present-day Nigeria.
