Garfield Bromley Oxnam
Garfield Bromley Oxnam (August 14, 1891 – March 12, 1963) was a social reformer and American Bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, elected in 1936.
==Early life==
Garfield Bromley Oxnam was born in Los Angeles in August 14, 1891. His father was a mining engineer and instilled in his son a strict religious conservatism. Oxnam embraced these beliefs in his youth, even describing socialism as “the biggest idiocy ever presented to the public.” However, in his early 20s Oxnam gravitated towards Reverend Dana W. Bartlett and the movements of the Social Gospel.〔Sitton, Tom (August 2011). ''Metropolis in the Making: Los Angeles in the 1920s.'' University of California Press. ISBN 9780520226272〕
Oxnam's political tendencies moved further left at the University of Southern California. Under the tutelage of Progressive teachers Emory S. Bogardus, Rockwell D. Hunt, and James Main Dixon, Oxnam was encouraged to apply his knowledge of social issues in real life settings in Los Angeles. Oxnam became a volunteer Housing Inspector for the Los Angeles Housing Commission and ventured through the poorest districts of Los Angeles, a city that falsely proclaimed to have no slums. He took copious notes from his field work and vowed to use the power of the Church to eradicate the slums in Los Angeles.〔
