Ad Clerum by Herbert Hensley Henson

Herbert Hensley Henson was appointed dean of Durham in 1912. He gained great renown for his work as dean, in the university, preaching in the diocese and supporting the interests of the city. His consecration as bishop of Hereford in 1918 aroused strong opposition, many Anglo-Catholics being suspicious of his orthodoxy, but his justice and sympathy gained him great affection in his diocese. As subsequently bishop of Durham (1920-1939), he continued to hold strong views, such as opposing Socialist solutions, which won at least admiration for their conviction, and were tempered by considerable compassion. He was also greatly concerned with Durham Castle's preservation and was a much appreciated speaker in Convocation and the House of Lords. The force and clarity of his writing are best illustrated in his charges Ad Clerum (1937) and in Bishoprick Papers (1946).
