Abstract
Peter Green (Salford) and Charles Jenkinson (Leeds) were Anglo-Catholic parsons who devotedly worked in northern England either side of the Second World War. Are they models for today? Green prioritized ‘intentional evangelism’. Jenkinson was a Christian socialist and Modernist who ‘meddled in politics’ as a city councillor: his priority was housing reform. Green remained a parish priest; Jenkinson moved into new town development. Despite their shortcomings, each cleric distinctively represents a relevant kind of priesthood: the parish missionary sharing the archbishops’ commitment to ‘mission-shaped’ church (Green), and the activist intent on building the kingdom by transforming his parishioners’ built environment (Jenkinson).
