William Temple (1881 1944) was the outstanding British religious
leader of the twentieth century. He believed that the 'modern
state' was incomplete without a modern Christian church, which
should set the moral and political tone of the community. His
political and religious best seller, Christianity and Social Order,
which was published as a Penguin Special in 1942, was one of the
sources of the wide support for the British welfare state of the
1950s. Temple was the most successful and controversial of British
'priests in politics' because as an Archbishop he combined the idea
of national unity rooted in a common set of religious/moral values
with a constant demand for political change in the direction of
greater social equality. He thus combined conservative and radical
impulses to a remarkable degree. This is a study of Temple's public
life and policy in Britain, and of his part in the movement to
unite the world's Protestant churches.
