Christian Socialists and Christian Socialism. A group led by F. D. Maurice, and including Charles Kingsley, which rejected laissez-faire economics and competition as conforming to the will of God, and envisaged instead a kind of ‘organic’ society, in which co-operative societies and education would reduce poverty and class hostility. The group published pamphlets and set up co-operatives (which failed), and it only lasted from 1848 to 1854.
