The Society of the Faith was founded in 1905 to promote a catholic
(and ecumenical) understanding of the Church of England. In 1916,
the Society created Faith Craft, a subsidiary company dedicated to
the best design in every area of church furnishing. Its products
were also meant to be affordable by ordinary parishes - unlike the
extravagances of craftsmen like William Burges. Faith Craft used a
wide variety of designers in wood, metal, textiles, and stained
glass. This work became ubiquitous in the Church of England, but
has never before been chronicled. The chapters of this book grew
out of a symposium sponsored by the Society of the Faith in 2013,
the first ever attempt to study Faith Craft and its works.
Beautifully illustrated, this book provides the first scholarly
examination of Faith Craft - its work, and also its place.
