F.D. Maurice called his movement "Christian Socialism" and the Anglo-Catholic revival was led by Anglo-Catholic socialists. Charles Gore (Bp. of Oxford and founder oif the Community fo the Resurrection) Karl Barth, Paul Tillich, and Rowan Williams were (are) all socialists. <br /><br />This position is based firmly on Patristic teaching. As St. Augustine said, "if you wish to love your neighbor as yourself, divide your money with hum!"<br /><br />The burden of proof is on those who would say that socialism is somehow outside the mainstream of the Anglican tradition.
