The Church Congress was an annual gathering of clergy and laity from the Church of England, brought together to discuss theological, moral, and social issues relevant to the church's mission, although it held no legislative authority. This particular guide offered detailed information about the congress's schedule, including lectures, discussions, and exhibitions. It was richly illustrated and included descriptions of Eastbourne's local landmarks, churches, and cultural points of interest, providing context and enjoyment for visiting attendees. Among its historical highlights was a contribution by Reverend Walter Budgen, who gave an account of Beachy Head and noted that Venetian sailors had once referred to it as "Caput Doble" or Devil's Head," referencing the dangers of its rocky coastline. Overall, the guide served not just as a practical handbook for congress participants, but also as a lasting record of the event, combining religious discourse with local heritage and visual appeal.
