Charles Voysey
Edit ProfileCareer
Voysey was sacked from a curacy of Street Mark"s, Whitechapel, having denied the doctrine of eternal punishment. He later became vicar of Healaugh near Tadcaster, Yorkshire, but soon ran into difficulties there. He was prosecuted by William Thomson, Archbishop of York, starting in 1869.
He was summoned before the Chancery Court of the diocese of York for heterodox teaching and deprived of his living.
He appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council which gave its judgement in 1871:
His appeal dismissed, Voysey lost his benefice. Moving to London, Voysey began holding services in Street George"s Hall, Langham Place, and founded the Theistic Church in Swallow Street, Piccadilly.
He continued to preach and teach up to his death. He befriended Guy Aldred, the "Boy Preacher" in Holloway, in 1903.
