Early Life
Charles Freer Andrews was born on 12 February 1871 at 14 Brunel Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. His father was a minister in the Catholic Apostolic Church in Birmingham, but the family had suffered from a financial misfortune because of the duplicity of a friend, and had to work hard to make ends meet. Andrews studied at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and afterwards began studying Classics at Pembroke College, Cambridge. During this period he moved away from the views of his family's church and was accepted for ordination in the Church of England.
In 1896 Andrews became a deacon, and took over the Pembroke College Mission in south London. A year later he became a priest, and became Vice-Principal of Westcott House Theological College in Cambridge.

Famous quotes containing the words early life, early and/or life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“As I went forth early on a still and frosty morning, the trees looked like airy creatures of darkness caught napping; on this side huddled together, with their gray hairs streaming, in a secluded valley which the sun had not penetrated; on that, hurrying off in Indian file along some watercourse, while the shrubs and grasses, like elves and fairies of the night, sought to hide their diminished heads in the snow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I felt for my crime a just terror; I looked on my life with hate, and my passion with horror.”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
