Excerpt from Life of Bishop Percival
Naturally I have been at all points dependent on others. I hope the obligations are duly noted in the text, but some are so conspicuous as to call for a special reference. First, I must name the members of the Bishop's family - Mrs. Percival, The Rev. Preb. L. J. Percival, and Mrs. Johnson who have given me every kind of help and support. For the earlier chapters I have received invaluable assistance from Canon J. M. Wilson, Sir Herbert Warren, Bishop Robertson, and Mr. G. F. Bradby. The chapters dealing With the Hereford episcopate I could not have handled at all without the aid of Canon Bannister, who supplied me with a great quantity of documents admirably sorted.

William Temple was a priest in the Church of England. He served as Bishop of Manchester (1921–29), Archbishop of York (1929–42), and Archbishop of Canterbury (1942–44).
A renowned teacher and preacher, Temple is perhaps best known for his 1942 book Christianity and Social Order, which set out an Anglican social theology and a vision for what would constitute a just post-war society. Also in 1942, with Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz, Temple jointly founded the Council of Christians and Jews to combat anti-Jewish bigotry.
