Christian Socialism
| 19th-century movement stressing the social principles of the Bible and opposed to the untrammelled workings of laissez-faire capitalism. Its founders, all members of the Church of England, were Frederick Denison Maurice (1805–1872), Charles Kingsley, and the novelist Thomas Hughes. |
| In Europe, the establishment of Christian Socialist parties (the first was in Austria) was a direct response to the perceived threat of socialism and therefore contained many conservative features. |
