William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, was the outstanding
Anglican figure of the twentieth century. His honesty, wide
interests, immense humanity, sense of fun, and utter lack of
pomposity won him the respect of thousands of men and women who
never darkened the doors of a church, while his intellect and
seriousness of purpose impressed the clergy and his peers. This
volume brings together twenty-two of Temple's essays and addresses
covering the whole span of his adult life, and illustrating in an
impressive way both the catholicity of his interests, the breadth
of his social thinking and the depth of his religious faith.
Originally published in 1938, this book presents the content of a
report made to the Pilgrim Trust on the subject of unemployment and
the needs of the unemployed. It was designed to provide the Pilgrim
Trustees with guidance on the allocation of funding in relation to
the social problems associated with unemployment. Numerous
investigators contributed to the report, which was overseen by a
committee led by William Temple, Archbishop of York at the time of
publication. Detailed textual notes and an appendices section are
also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in British history, social history and unemployment.
