Exhibition honours chaplains’ service during conflict

Retired Anglican Archbishop of Toronto Terrence Finlay models Bishop Charles Henry Brent’s Cope, given to him in 1920 by the people of France for his service with the American Expeditionary Forces during the last year of the First World War. The elaborate liturgical garment has been restored by the Needleworkers Guild of Toronto.
