Darwell Stone

Darwell Stone (1859–1941) was an Anglo-Catholic theologian and Church of England priest.

He was made a deacon in 1883 and after being ordained priest became vice-principal of Dorchester Missionary College, Oxfordshire, in 1885.

During his adult life he strenuously maintained High Church principles and was a defender of the theology of R. W. Church and H. P. Liddon against the teaching of the Lux Mundi school.

In later life he became more and more the leader of the Anglo-Catholic Movement in the Church of England and was a strong opponent of the project to revise the Book of Common Prayer.

His writings were characterized by wide and accurate learning and fairness to his opponents.
