About the author
Born in 1858, Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram was educated at Eton and Keble College, Oxford, and later entered the Church of England. After work at Oxford House in Bethnal Green and as vicar of St Peter's, London Docks, he built a reputation as an energetic preacher and pastor.
In 1901 he became Bishop of London, a post he held until 1939. His years in office made him a major public figure in the capital, and he was known for open-air services, work in the East End, and a style of ministry that aimed to reach ordinary Londoners as well as established churchgoers.
During the First World War, he became widely recognized for strongly patriotic sermons and speeches supporting the British war effort. He died in 1946, remembered as one of the most visible and distinctive bishops of his era.
