Community of The Resurrection
See also: Community of the ResurrectionIn 1892, while Principal of Pusey House, Gore founded a clerical fraternity, known as the Society of the Resurrection. The society became a religious community, and he became their first superior, only resigning when appointed Bishop of Worcester in 1902. Its members were Anglican priests bound by the obligation of celibacy, living under a common rule and with a common purse. Their work was pastoral, evangelistic, literary and educational. The Community followed Gore to Radley in 1893, most of them remaining there when he moved to London in 1894. In 1898 the House of the Resurrection at Mirfield, near Huddersfield, became the centre of the community.
In 1903 a college for training candidates for the Anglican priesthood (College of the Resurrection), was established there and, in the same year, a branch house for missionary work was set up in Johannesburg in South Africa.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or resurrection:
“Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.”
—John Lukacs (b. 1924)
“For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22.
