Early life [ edit ]
Bruce Kenrick was born in Liverpool and initially trained as an accountant. World War II broke out before he turned 20, and he saw service as a medic in the Gold Coast Defence Force and with paratroopers in Italy. After the war he decided to pursue a career as a doctor. He attended the University of Edinburgh where he switched to divinity, having engaged in missionary work.
Ministry [ edit ]
Kenrick went to work in the East Harlem Protestant parish project,[3] Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York . On his return to the UK he was ordained and went to work in Notting Hill , London - then an area marked by racial tension and bad landlords like Peter Rachman .[2]
Activism [ edit ]
In response to the poor housing conditions, Kenrick set up the Notting Hill Housing Trust , which maintained the fabric of the area.The early days were not easy . It was out of the desire to put national pressure on local government to improve housing that Shelter was born at St Martin in the Fields in 1966.
After a dispute over the leadership of the organisation with Des Wilson , Kenrick left Shelter.[4] Iona Community and work on the example set by the revolution in Cuba helped set the direction of radical Christianity in the UK.
Personal life [ edit ]
He met his wife Isabel Witte , an historian, while at Edinburgh. Their children included Ann Kenrick , charity leader.
