Cleric Hugh Lecturer Preacher Reginald Reverend
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait photograph, Reverend Hugh Reginald Haweis (1838-1901) is depicted in serious contemplation, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. Haweis was an English cleric and prolific writer, whose works spanned theology, literature, and social commentary. Born in London, Haweis was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and ordained in the Church of England in 1862. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a popular preacher and lecturer, and was appointed Rector of St. Mary's, Putney in 1874. Haweis' literary career began in earnest in the late 1860s, with the publication of his first book, "The Needle's Eye," a collection of sermons that garnered widespread acclaim. Over the next several decades, he would go on to write numerous other works, including "The Art of Preaching" and "The Church and the Home." Haweis was also a prolific contributor to various periodicals, and his essays and articles were widely read in both England and America. Despite his success as a writer, Haweis remained deeply committed to his role as a parish priest, and his sermons and lectures continued to draw large crowds. He was known for his eloquent and passionate style, and his ability to connect with his audience on a deeply personal level. Haweis' influence extended beyond the pulpit, as well; he was a leading figure in the Christian Social Union, an organization that sought to address the social and economic issues of the day through the lens of Christian values. This photograph, taken in 1887, captures Haweis in the prime of his career, as a respected and influential figure in both the Church and the literary world. With his intense gaze and serious expression, he seems to embody the deep contemplation and spiritual depth that marked his writings and sermons. Today, Haweis is remembered as a pioneering figure in the history of English Christianity, and his works continue to inspire and challenge readers around the world.
