Trevor Huddleston Résumé

Trevor Huddleston: Essays on His Life and Work Deborah Duncan Honore

This is a collection of essays about Trevor Huddleston, offered to him on his 75th birthday. The articles are written by friends and associates and reflect an appreciation of his life's work and friendship. Trevor Huddleston, born in Britain in 1913, read history at Oxford. He trained for the priesthood, joined the Community of the Resurrection, and in 1941 took monastic vows. In 1943 he went to South Africa and took charge of the Community's mission in the black township of Sophiatown, Johannesburg and in 1949 was appointed Provincial of the Order. Here, he endeavoured to provide recreation facilities for the black townspeople. However, in 1948 the Nationalist Party gained power and he was involved in clashes against the government's policy of apartheid. In 1956 he published his book "Naught for your comfort", an indictment of apartheid, and returned to Britain. 1960 saw him consecrated Bishop of Masasi in Tanzania where he tried to deal with the problems of rural poverty and lack of education. He retired in 1968 and was appointed Suffragan Bishop of Stepney where again he had to deal with deprivation and prejudice. The last see to which Huddleston was appointed was that of Mauritius in 1978, from which he retired in 1983. Trevor Huddleston is however, best known for his work on South Africa. His activities have ranged from letter-writing to protest meetings as well as extensive travel.
