Title: Edward Hicks - Pacifist Bishop at War
Description: Edward Hicks was the Bishop of Lincoln during the First World War -- a cleric who had condemned the war but had to watch his sons go off to fight -- one not to return. He keep detailed diaries -- full of often indiscreet comments -- and through them we see a man wrestling with his own conscience and beliefs, in a very public role. He was also a strong supporter of votes for women -- highly unusual at that time -- and a supporter of teetotalism, again, an unusual stance for a Church of England dignitary.
