On his return he joined and became chairman in 1919 (president in 1922) of the ''Life and Liberty Movement'' begun by Dr William Temple and Dick Sheppard in 1917.〔 In 1923 he came to London to take up his appointment as editor of the ''Guardian'', a Church of England weekly newsletter. However his strengths lay in writing rather than in administration of a newspaper and after four years he resigned and returned to a country parish.〔"Obituary Dr. F. A. Iremonger Dean of Lichfield", ''The Times''; Tuesday, Sep 16, 1952; pg. 8; Issue 52418; col F〕 He was appointed Director of Religion at the BBC in 1933 where he had "immense success" bringing about a notable rise in the standard of religious broadcasting and being appointed an Honorary Chaplain to the King in 1936.〔"His Majesty's Household Appointments by the King, Full List of Officers", ''The Times''; Tuesday, Jul 21, 1936; pg. 11; Issue 47432; col A〕 He held his post at the BBC until 1939 when having exceeded the BBC's age limit (60) he again retired to a small country parish.〔 Within a few months Dr Iremonger was elevated to the Deanery of Lichfield Cathedral.〔"New Dean of Lichfield Dr. F. A. Iremonger", ''The Times''; Thursday, Jun 01, 1939; pg. 14; Issue 48320; col F〕 "He did not settle down easily to Cathedral life and its traditions".〔 He died in that post, aged 73, on 15 September 1952. "His strong and attractive character and undemonstrative piety impressed all who knew him and gained him a host of friends".〔 His biography of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, published in 1948 "earned much praise and deserved much gratitude".〔 ==Publications (selected)== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederic Iremonger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
