John Albert Douglas

John Albert Douglas (21 September 1868 – 3 July 1956) was a priest of the Church of England and a major figure in Anglican–Orthodox relations in the 20th century.

Douglas was ordained in 1894 in Newark, Nottinghamshire.[1]

The Society of the Faith was founded in August 1905 by Douglas and his brother, the Revd Charles Edward Douglas, both notable figures in the Anglo-Catholic revival. The object of the society was to create: "an Association of Christians in communion with the See of Canterbury for mutual assistance in the work of Christ's Church and for the furtherance of such charitable undertakings as may from time to time be decided upon, more especially for the popularisation of the Catholic faith."[2]

Douglas was a member of the Anglican and Eastern Churches Association and the Fellowship of Saint Alban and Saint Sergius. He was also the vicar of St Michael Paternoster Royal in London from 1933 to 1952.[1] He had served previously, from 1909 to 1933, at St Luke's Church, Camberwell, in the Diocese of Southwark. He was the founder of the Nikæan Club.
