About the author
Born in Worcestershire in 1858, Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram was educated at Marlborough College and Keble College, Oxford, and was ordained in the 1880s. After early church work and teaching, he rose steadily through the Church of England and was appointed Bishop of London in 1901.
He held that post until 1939, serving for nearly four decades. He became especially associated with work in London's East End and with a style of ministry that was public, active, and closely engaged with city life.
Winnington-Ingram was also a prolific writer and speaker. During the First World War he was a strong and sometimes controversial advocate for Britain's cause, which made him one of the most visible church figures of his day. He died in 1946, remembered as a prominent and energetic church leader of Edwardian and interwar Britain.
