Handley Carr Glyn Moule (/moʊl/; 23 December 1841 – 8 May 1920) was an evangelical Anglican theologian, writer, poet, and Bishop of Durham from 1901 to 1920.
[1] He was elected a Fellow of Trinity in 1865, and became an assistant master at Marlborough College before he was ordained deacon in 1867 and priest in 1868.
From 1867 he was his father's curate at Fordington, Dorset, with a stint of five years as Dean of Trinity College chapel, 1873–1877.
The 1911 Census of England and Wales shows that he had in his household thirteen servants including a butler, two footmen, and a lady’s maid.
In 1907 Moule published a memoir on Mary's short life entitled The School of Suffering.
[13] He was proud of the report that 218,000 miners had enlisted,[14] half from Durham, that nearly 2,000 men from the diocesan branch of the Church of England’s Men’s Society were on active service,[15] and that Bede College former students included 4 dead on the Somme, 5 wounded, one MC, one DCM and one MM.
[16] He supported the extension of the franchise to women, ‘a grant in which I for one believe that great possibilities of good lie in waiting’.
He contributed the chapters on Paul's letters to the Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (1891–98)[18] and also wrote poems on religious subjects; he won the Seatonian Prize at Cambridge for sacred poetry 1869–1873 and again in 1876.
