Writer and retired clergyman Bishop Michael Marshall explains why his 19th-century predecessor Bishop Edward King was so influential on the church and why he still has much to say that is relevant today.

Marshall says King radically challenged and changed the character of the Church of England and the Anglian Communion. King was chaplain and then principal of Cuddesdon theological college, Regius Professor of Pastoral Theology at Oxford and Bishop of Lincoln. Marshall says he was concerned to train a clergy who were pastorally, theologically and professionally competent in a way seldom seen before. He will talk about Edward King: Teacher, Pastor, Bishop, Saint and its sequel, A Love Surpassing Knowledge: The Spirituality of Edward King.

Marshall is a an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of London and a former Bishop of Woolwich and former director of the Anglican Institute in St Louis, Missouri.

This event is part of the festival’s programme on Christian tradition.
