Good.** "Charles Gore, (1853—1932),English theologian, Anglican bishop, and an exponent of the liberal tendency within the Anglo-Catholic movement. He demonstrated a willingness to accept historical criticism of the Bible. As warden of Pusey House at Oxford (1884–93), he made a notable impact on the undergraduates, took an interest in social questions, and was active in the Christian Social Union. His visit to the Oxford Mission in Calcutta and his resultant experience of India profoundly influenced his life and spirituality". (Enc.Brit).The first members of The Oxford Mission to Calcutta "sailed from Liverpool on October 30, 1880. With them went also a young layman, Edwin Berryman, who had been a page-boy at Cuddesdon, and now as a printer offered his services for a time to the Mission, to take charge of the printing-press which Mr. Willis took out with him. While he was with the Mission he proved himself a most valuable helper". (MissiologyOrg).
