Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Established in 1853 as the City Parochial Lay Agency Association, it met at Sion College, London Wall. Its agents were to read the scriptures and promote Christian education in the parishes or districts assigned to them. At a meeting in February 1855 it was recommended that the Association become a City of London auxiliary to the Church of England Scripture Readers' Association, but the minutes end here and there is no record of a final decision.
