Eric Waldram Kemp FRHistS (27 April 1915 – 28 November 2009) was a Church of England bishop.
He was one of the leading Anglo-Catholics of his generation and one of the most influential figures in the Church of England in the last quarter of the twentieth century.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 1951 and received an honorary DLitt from the University of Sussex.
He was consecrated a bishop on 23 October 1974, by Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Southwark Cathedral[5] — before the introduction of a mandatory retirement age and was able to continue in the post for as long as he chose.
Kemp wrote a book about Kirk[6] and in 2001 presented his letters and papers to Lambeth Palace Library.
He was one of only four bishops in the United Kingdom who declined to sign the Cambridge Accord, affirming the human rights of homosexuals.
