After studying at Oxford, he became a priest of the Anglican Church in 1878 and, two years later, deputy director of Cuddesdon College.

He also participated in the Christian trade union movement founded in 1889 and founded the Community of the Resurrection (a socially engaged community of men) in 1892 . In 1900 he sent members of the community to South Africa, where, among other things, local priests were trained, including Desmond Tutu .

He was a priest at Westminster Abbey from 1894 to 1902 , then Bishop of Worcester until 1905 , in Birmingham until 1911 and in Oxford until 1919. He then worked in London as a writer, lecturer and preacher. In 1930 he went on a six-month preaching and lecture tour of India. This trip weakened him and two years later he died.
