Fishing for Souls explores the origins and development of
fishermen's missions in Britain, focussing particularly on the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book is the first to
view the entire picture of a significant, although not broadly
known, part of British history, and to add new relevant
perspectives. Dr Stephen Friend FRSA establishes 'an historical
outline of the development of the churches' work among British
fishing communities and explores why a mission specifically
concerned with fishermen was not initiated until the industry
entered a period of economic decline during the early 1880s. The
factors relating to the development of British fisherman's missions
are complex, involving not only social and technological changes
inside and outside the fishing industry, but also changing
theological perceptions that had a significant impact on attitudes
to social conditions'. With its honesty and objectivity about
developments, especially those that were difficult and painful for
the fishermen's mission societies at the time, Fishing for Souls
reveals the magnificent work that the various societies did, and in
some cases continue to do, making it evident to all the readers.
