Church of England Men's Society
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Church of England Men's Society was founded in 1899 by Archbishop Frederick Temple to bring men together to socialize in a Christian environment.
It began by amalgamating the Church of England's Young Men's Society, the Young Men's Friendly Society and the Men's Help Society into one organisation.[1] In the first years of the 20th Century Cosmo Gordon Lang became its first Chairman. [2] It has often taken a strong viewpoint on such national issues as the force feeding of Suffragettes.[3]
