note = "Funding Information: Waterman: Well yes! It was they who funded my Reckitt Fellowship at the University of Sussex, for which I am deeply grateful. But I am afraid I was a disappointment to them. The Christendom Trust was funded by Maurice Reckitt, who was part of a pre-war Anglo-Catholic, Christian Socialist group that included Thomas Stearns Eliot and Canon Vigo Auguste Demant. They established the Reckitt Fellowship at Sussex, expecting that the Fellow would be a Christian Socialist; and that his research would provide support for their ideas, which had been much influenced by Richard Henry Tawney. But what my research actually showed was that the most sophisticated political thinking in the Victorian Church—to which an Archbishop of Canterbury (Sumner) and an Archbishop of Dublin (Whately) made vital contributions—was strongly supportive of private property, free and competitive markets, and a high degree of social and economic inequality.
