Frederick Denison Maurice

Frederick Denison Maurice
F. D. Maurice vers 1865

Frederick Denison Maurice, plus souvent appelé F. D. Maurice (29 août 1805 à Normanston, Suffolk - 1er avril 1872) était un théologien et socialiste chrétien anglais.

Unitarien, il fit d'abord des études de droit au Trinity College (Cambridge). Il se convertit à l'anglicanisme et étudia pour devenir pasteur anglican au Collège d'Exeter (Oxford). Ordonné en 1834, il devint professeur d'histoire puis de théologie au King's College de Londres en 1840. Ses opinions théologiques l'obligèrent à quitter ses postes dans les années 1850. Il fonda alors le Queens' College (Londres) puis le Working Men's College, un établissement de formation continue.

Il a été reconnu saint par l'Église épiscopale des États-Unis qui l'honore le 1er avril.
