Origin from 1892
The Community of the Resurrection is an Anglican religious order for men founded on 25 July 1892 at Pusey House, Oxford, by six priests including Charles Gore, and based since 1898 in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England. Emerging from the Oxford Movement, the community is called to public, prophetic witness to the Christian hope of the Kingdom, sustaining a life of common worship that issues in pastoral teaching, mission, theological education and retreat work, including running the College of the Resurrection since 1903 and the Mirfield Centre for conferences and lay education. The community expanded globally with missions in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, and its members have included eleven bishops and figures such as Desmond Tutu. As of January 2026 it comprised 13 members.
