Faith

By 1899 Ursula had joined the Women Workers for God in South London, popularly known as the “Grey Ladies”. She remained in social work for this and other religious organisations for the next 15 years.   Her poetry was informed by her strong Anglican faith and her willingness to explore the contradictions of religious certainty and everyday experience. An advocate for the admission of women to the ministry, she eventually gave her house in St Albans to the Anglican church as accommodation for St Faith's House of Sacred Learning, a deaconess training institute.
