Walter Frere (1863-1938) was one of the leading Anglo-Catholic figures of his day and one of the Church of England's most notable liturgists.A monk and accomplished musician, he was the first to compile a book of collects and readings for saints' days - the prototype of Exciting Holiness. His liturgical influence extended throughout the Anglican Communion. He was Bishop of Truro and then became one of the founders of the Community of the Resurrection, Mirfield - today a thriving monastic community and theological college. He twice served as its Superior. This set of essays assesses his legacy, his wide ranging contribution to church life and his continuing influence. It constitutes the first critical study of his work and will be of interest to students of liturgy, church music and the Church of England in the 20th century, as well as to the many friends and associates of the Community and priests who trained at Mirfield.Contributors include Geoffrey Rowell, Bishop of Europe; Canon Alan Wilkinson; George Guiver, Superior of the Community of the Resurrection, Peter Alan, Vice-principal of the College of the Resurrection, and others.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    Walter Frere is an unjustly neglected figure in the history of the twentieth century church. The editors have done us a service in collecting a varied and impressive variety of contributions. Frere was scholar, bishop and co-founder of the Community of the Resurrection – but there is so much more. Frere would seem to have taken to heart the maxim: ‘you can achieve a great deal if you are willing to allow somebody else to take the credit!’. At long last the extent of the influence exercised by this ‘backroom boy’ is available to us!
