Christian Left [1934-1939]

The Moot [1938-1947]

Christendom Group

Spearheaded by Maurice Reckitt.

There is much affinity between [the Moot and the Christendom Group.] Not only the Christendom group share the Moot’s misgiving Christdendom as a source of fundamental restructuring and renewal. There was also considerable interaction between members. Most notably Philip Mairet attended two meetings, and papers by V.A. Demant and Ruth Kenyon were circulated in the Moot. […] However, in contradistinction to the Christendom Group, the Moot deliberately strived towards launching a sociopolitical movement.
