About the author
Born in Worcestershire in 1858, Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram was educated at Marlborough College and Keble College, Oxford, and ordained in the Church of England in the 1880s. Early in his ministry he became connected with Oxford House in Bethnal Green, work that helped shape his lifelong interest in the people and problems of East London.
After serving as Bishop of Stepney, he was appointed Bishop of London in 1901, a post he held until 1939. He was known as an energetic preacher with a gift for public speaking, and he was widely recognized for his involvement in social and pastoral work across London, especially in the East End.
Winnington-Ingram also wrote a number of books, including What a Layman Should Believe and Fifty Years' Work in London. During the First World War he strongly championed Britain’s cause, a stance that made him a highly visible national figure and, to some, a controversial one. He died in 1946.
