of Oxford. He was one of the

most influential Anglican theologians of the 19th century,

helping reconcile the church to some aspects of biblical criticism and

scientific discovery, while remaining Catholic in his interpretation of the

faith and sacraments. Also known for his social action, Gore became an Anglican bishop and

founded the monastic Community of the

Resurrection as well as co-founded the Christian Social Union.

He was the chaplain to Queen Victoria and King Edward VII.

Charles Gore was born on 22 January 1853 into an Anglo-Irish aristocratic

family[2] as the third son of Hon. Charles Alexander Gore

(1811-1897), grandson of Arthur Gore, 2nd Earl of

Arran, and Lady Augusta Lavinia Priscilla, a daughter of John William

Ponsonby, 4th Earl of Bessborough. His brother Spencer was the first

winner of the Wimbledon Championships. Gore

was raised in a low-church Anglican family and was confirmed by the church at the age of eight years. He was attracted to the high-church sacramental tradition a young age,[8] later writing "I have since my childhood

been what I may call a Catholic by mental constitution". Around the age of

nine years, he read Grace Clement. The book

served as his introduction to the high-church tradition and, instead of the author had intended, he found himself entranced by the Catholic

tradition. n 1875 with a first-class degree in literae humaniores.

In 1875, Gore was elected a fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, and he lectured there from 1876 to 1880. Gore

was ordained to the Anglican diaconate in December 1876 and to the priesthood

in December 1878. From 1880 to 1883, he served as vice-principal of Cuddesdon Theological College. He

received Honorary Doctor of

Divinity degrees from various universities, including University of Athens, University of Birmingham, University of Oxford, Durham University, and University of Edinburgh. When,

in 1884, Pusey House was

founded at Oxford, in part as a memorial to Edward Bouverie Pusey, and as a

home for Pusey's library, Gore was appointed as principal, a position he held

until 1893. As Principal of Pusey House, he exercised wide influence over

undergraduates and the younger clergy and it was largely under this influence

that the Oxford Movement underwent

a change which to surviving Tractarians seemed to involve a break with its basic

principles. Puseyism had been in the highest degree conservative, basing itself

on authority and tradition and repudiating compromise with the modern critical

and liberalising spirit. Gore, starting from the same basis of faith and

authority, found from experience in dealing with the doubts and difficulties of

the younger generation that this uncompromising attitude was untenable and set

himself the task of reconciling the principle of authority in religion with

that of scientific authority, by attempting to define the boundaries of their

respective spheres of influence. To him the divine authority of the Catholic

Church was an axiom. In 1889, he published two works, the larger of

which, The Church and the Ministry, is a learned vindication of the

principle of apostolic succession in

the episcopate against the Presbyterians and other Reformed church bodies, while the

second, Roman Catholic Claims, is a defence, in more popular form,

of Anglicanism and Anglican ordinations and sacraments

against the criticisms of Roman Catholic authorities. So far Gore's published

views had been in consonance with those of the older Tractarians, but in 1889 a

stir was created by the publication, under his editorship, of Lux Mundi, a series of essays by different writers

attempting to bring the Christian creed into a harmonious relation to the

modern growth of knowledge, scientific, historic, critical, and to modern

problems of politics and ethics. Gore himself contributed an essay on "The

Holy Spirit and Inspiration" and, from the tenth edition, one of Gore's

sermons, "On the Christian Doctrine of Sin", was included as an

appendix. The book, which ran through twelve editions in little over a year,

met with a mixed reception. Traditional clerics, both Evangelicals and

Tractarians, were alarmed by views on the incarnate nature of Christ which

seemed to them to impugn his divinity and, by concessions to the higher

criticism in the matter of the inspiration of scripture, appeared to them to

convert the "impregnable rock" (as Gladstone had called it) into a

foundation of sand. Sceptics, however, were not impressed by a system of

defence which seemed to draw an artificial line beyond which criticism was not

to advance. The book nonetheless produced a profound effect far beyond the

borders of the Anglican churches and it is largely due to its influence, and to

that of the school it represents, that the Anglican high church movement

developed on Modernist rather than Tractarian lines from then on.
