And yet the British left can trace itself back to Christian causes. The anti-slavery movement is the best known. But other reformist movements also have their roots in "Christian" arguments (or so they were formulated). The late Bishop of Liverpool, David Sheppard, was a fervent liberal and socialist who lent his weight to various such movements. Perhaps the greatest triumph of the CofE is the acceptance of what used to be dangerously revolutionary reformist arguments as the taken for granted mainstream.
