| Research Abstract |
William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury during the Second World War, advocated the policies towards the establishment of the British Welfare State. His activities are supported by many clergymen of the Church of England. V.A.Demant was among them. He belonged to the Anglo-Catholic group and insisted the revival of the guild system of the medieval period with the notion of accusation of the usury. Economically, he joined the Social Credit Movement and supported the idea of the community money in order to boost the spending power of the population of a local community. These conditions were the religious background for the construction of the Welfare State in the postwar period.
