Answer 1

Biographical Details

On the 15th June 1913 Trevor Huddleston was born in Bedford, England. He went to the schools Lancing College, Christ Church, Oxford and Wells Theological College. He joined an Anglican religious order, the Community of the Resurrection (CR), in 1939, having already served for two years as a curate at St Mark's Swindon.

Apartheid

Apartheid was the separation and treatment of black people in South Africa. It was enforced by the National Party government between 1948 and 1993. There was racial discrimination before, but the government introduced the official policy in 1948. The government segregated education, medical care, and other public services.

South Africa

In 1943, Huddleston went to the CR mission station at Rosettenville, Sophiatown to build on the work of Raymond Raines, whose work had become so difficult had to return home for a break. Over the course of the next 13 years in Sophiatown, Huddleston developed into a much-loved priest and respected anti-Apartheid activist. He fought against the Apartheid laws peacefully and made public the racism and conviction of the black people there.

Inspiration

I believe that Huddleston received most of his inspiration from God and through his theological studies. Trevor Huddleston will be most remembered, however, as a person that brought inspiration to others. Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela have stated the strong influence that Huddleston had on him. And there are also thousands of other men and women who were positively influenced by Trevor Huddleston.
