Margaret Sampson (5 June 1906 – 14 August 1988) was an English Anglican nun who was Mother Superior of the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God from 1954 to 1973.
[1] She was the daughter of the fellow and later principal of Brasenose College, Oxford, Charles Henry Sampson, and his wife, Margaret Caroline Sophie Bolckow,[1] a member of the Blockow family that laid Middlesbrough's modern foundations with their ironstone works.
[1] Her work was heavily influenced by Shaw; Kenneth Leech of The Independent wrote that the two assisted in the forming of an "understanding and practice of contemplative living in the midst of a world of action.
[3][4] Sampson established the SLG Press that published literature concerned with Christian spirituality such as its Fairacres Pamphlets to a wider audience.
[2][4] Sampson encouraged and took part in ecumenical dialogue, particularly with the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches, and helped other religious communities seek ways to achieve reconstruction.
