The Parish and People movement was founded in 1949 as a British response to the 'Liturgical Movement' which influenced many denominations in continental Europe, popularising the parish communion as the main worship event at parochial level. Leading lights included Henry de Candole, later Bishop of Knaresborough, and the prominent preacher and broadcaster Canon Eric James. The Parish and People movement also promoted grassroots growth in team ministry, synodical government and church unity and its range of publications encouraged new thinking and practice in liturgy, collaborative ministry and training. It therefore represents an important reformist strand in the history of the 20th-century Church. Parish and People merged with the Keble Conference Group in 1964. In 1970 it was largely responsible for the formation of the ecumenical 'ONE for Christian Renewal'. It ceased as a campaigning voice within the Church of England from the end of 2013.
