Roger Bradshaigh Lloyd (16 January 1901[1] – 15 September 1966)[2] was an influential Anglican priest and wide-ranging writer in the immediate context of the Second World War and the mid-twentieth century.
After his ordination in 1924, he served in several parishes in the North of England before becoming Canon Residentiary of Winchester, where he was later to be Vice-Dean of the cathedral.
Influenced by Christian socialism and the heritage of the Oxford Movement,[citation needed] he was known for his contemporary histories of the Church of England, and particularly for a challenge to the ideologies prevailing in continental Europe in the 1930s.
In 1943 he launched a movement, the Servants of Christ the King, described in his book An Adventure in Discipleship.
His writings included books on Abelard and railways and fiction as well as on religious subjects.
