*2-day Conference: The Past and Future of Anglo-Catholic Socialism*
*Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 February 2026*

An impressive number of socialist priests and intellectuals were formed by the Anglo-Catholic tradition in the first half of the twentieth century, including Percy Dearmer, F.D. Maurice, R.H. Tawney, J. N. Figgis, Henry Scott Holland, Frank Weston, Conrad Noel, Albert Mansbridge, Charles Gore, Ken Leech, and John Hughes.

The Centre for Theology, Law, and Culture at Pusey House will organise a colloquium to discuss what can be learnt from Anglo-Catholic socialism as a tradition that still bears relevance for our time.
