The Society of the Faith is a Church of England charity founded in 1905. Its objects are to bring together Christians in communion with the See of Canterbury for mutual assistance, and to support and further charitable undertakings, particularly those that popularise the Catholic faith. It is registered with the Charity Commission. == History == The Society was founded in August 1905,〔Commemorative Tribute page 1〕 by two brothers, the Revd Canon John Albert Douglas, then Vicar of (St Luke, Camberwell ), and the Revd C E Douglas, both notable figures in the Anglo Catholic revival. The object of the Society was to create – "an Association of Christians in communion with the See of Canterbury for mutual assistance in the work of Christ's Church and for the furtherance of such charitable undertakings as may from time to time be decided upon, more especially for the popularisation of the Catholic faith." The Douglas brothers also intended to create a collegiate institution with resident and non-resident members, but this never came into being. In 1926 the Society became a charitable limited company. In 1935, it took on the lease of Faith House in Westminster, which provided a base for activities of the Society, in particular a bookshop for the Faith Press and workspaces for Faith-Craft (see below). Faith House had been built as a church institute for the parish of St John the Evangelist, Westminster. The parish church of this parish was bombed in World War II and is now a concert hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Society of the Faith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
