Simeon, Charles

▪ British clergyman
born Sept. 24, 1759, Reading, Berkshire, Eng.
died Nov. 13, 1836, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

      Anglican (Anglican Evangelical) clergyman and biblical commentator who led the Evangelical (or Low Church) movement, in reaction to the liturgically and episcopally oriented High Church party.

      Simeon was educated at King's College, Cambridge, where he became vice provost (1790–92). In 1782 he was presented to the living of Trinity Church, Cambridge, where he remained until his death. Renowned as a preacher, Simeon helped found the Church Missionary Society (1797) and assisted the newly founded (1804) British and Foreign Bible Society. In his Horae Homileticae, 17 vol. (1819–28; “Homiletic Offices”), he annotated the entire Bible for sermon material. In order to ensure the continuity of Evangelical teaching, he established (1816) the Simeon Trust to purchase the right to appoint clergymen to livings.
