W. E. Moll

[2] He worked closely with Stewart Headlam, allowing him to conduct mass, and he trained up Charles Marson.

[2] In 1893, Moll joined the new Independent Labour Party (ILP), and relocated to the north of England, soon becoming the vicar of St Philip's Church in Newcastle upon Tyne.

There, he trained up three notable socialist curates: Conrad Noel, Paul Stacy, and Percy Widdrington.

He was prominent in the Church Socialist League, but turned down the opportunity to become its chair, instead focusing on the ILP, where he served on the National Administrative Council for many years, representing North East England.

[3][4] In religious matters, Moll identified as an Anglo-Catholic,[5] stating that "As a Catholic, I believe that the Church is the Kingdom of Heaven on earth – an organised society for the promotion of righteousness, and freedom, and truth among nations.
