Reginald Gresham Kirkby (1916–2006) was an English Anglican priest and anarchist socialist.[2][3]
Kirkby was born in Cornwall on 11 August 1916.[2] His mother and aunt were Methodist, but he was inclined towards Anglo-Catholicism from an early age.[4] Kirby graduated from the University of Leeds and studied at the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield, West Yorkshire, where he became friends with Trevor Huddleston, in the 1940s.[2][5] He was ordained in Manchester[6] as a deacon in 1942 and as a priest in 1943[2] and served as vicar of St Paul's, Bow Common, London, from July 1951 to July 1994.[7] He retired in protest of the legalisation of the ordination of women.[8]
Kirby was an anarchist socialist (or anarcho-communist), an early supporter of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and a member of the Committee of 100.[2] He was influenced by Peter Kropotkin and Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement.[2]
Kirkby died on 10 August 2006.[2]
