...post as vicar of Great St. Mary's, Cambridge University's church, where he often sported bow ties instead of dog collar and packed in undergraduate congregations for guest addresses by such speakers as the Labor Party's Aneurin Bevan and anti-apartheid Bishop Trevor Huddleston. He took his informality right along with him to Southwark. He sometimes takes a morning dip with early-rising parishioners at an open-air pool before starting a full Sunday's work. Once, by appointment, he called, wearing layman's clothes, on one of his vicars. The vicar...
Those that remain today seem to be concentrated in 65 acres of land set in the piney woods 3½ miles from Murfreesboro (pop. 1,100). The field first became prominent in 1906 when a young guide, John Wesley Huddleston, picked up a glittering pebble after a rainstorm. When a Little Rock jeweler pronounced it a genuine high-quality diamond, a rush of buggy-borne diggers, many of them women in ground-sweeping skirts, swarmed into Murfreesboro. Few of them found diamonds, and most of them soon went home. But ever since then, the diggings have been a steady tourist...
Barker writes of his African education, and of the shy, proud, solemn Zulus who taught him, with compassion, humor and a certain sense of shame. He is no revolutionary, but nonetheless shares, with Novelist Alan Paton and the crusading Anglican priest Trevor Huddleston, a searing hatred of apartheid and its works.

...Downing Street, voiced the "deep concern of Christian opinion," and urged a cease-fire (Anthony Eden was too busy to see them). Dr. Donald Soper, fire-eating British Methodist leader who urged refusal to fight, led a protest march through London's West End. Anglican Father Trevor Huddleston, famed for his fight against apartheid in South Africa, called for even stronger condemnation by the churches: "Unless this is done, once again it will be clearly shown that principlcs of power politics count for more than justice, and that Western European civilization has forever forsaken the Christian gospel upon which...
...found a major difference between the Southland and South Africa, a difference signified by the difference between the slogans "white supremacy" and "separate but equal." Huddleston marveled at some of the school facilities the South has provided its segregated Negroes in recent years in its attempt to prove that social justice is not necessarily involved in segregation. He found "an immeasurably greater educational and economic opportunity for the U.S. Negro." But many of the professed Christians he talked to reminded him of Christians among whom he lived in South Africa. "They had exactly the same kind of blindness," said Father...
