Book Description:

Edward Hicks was called a pro-Boer, a feminist, and three parts a pacifist. Asquith chose him for the bishopric of Lincoln after a long ministry in the slums of Salford, and he stood out among the bishops of his time for his radical opinions. He supported the New Liberalism of the turn of the century, and was one of the few church leaders who welcomed the rise of the Labour Party.
