- "William Temple died in October 1944, after only two years as Archbishop of Canterbury but having been a leading advocate of a practical Christian social ethic for most of his ministry. His commitment to working out the method and content of the churches' social witness not only gave him a public prominence enjoyed by few clerics, but became a major contribution to the direction of post-war social policy in Britain. Even more enduring has been Temple's role in shaping the principles and processes of the churches' (and not just the Church of England's) engagement with society up to the present day. Yet despite the durability of the post-war consensus, we live in a very different intellectual and political climate to that which Temple initiated. Fifty years after his death, Temple's influence on ideas and practice is worth celebrating -- but just as important is the task of reassessing Christian social thought and action in the contemporary context. The four pieces that follow were originally delivered as the Gresham Lectures in Divinity, presented by Gresham College in association with The William Temple Foundation, and organised in conjunction with Sion College where they were delivered in Lent 1994". -- Intro.
