The Chaplain-President led the main Sunday service at St Boniface Antwerp (St Boniface Antwerp, an Anglican - Episcopalian Church, welcomes you ) on 26th September, during the holidays of the chaplain, Canon Andrew Wagstaff. The origins of this parish lie in the appointment of the Revd John Nicholson as English chaplain in Antwerp in 1530 - four years before Henry VIII removed the Church of England from communion with Rome. It is now a thriving multicultural parish with a special mission towards seafarers, in association with the Anglican missionary society the Mission to Seafarers (The Mission to Seafarers | Working In Over 200 Ports Worldwide ).
