Christian Socialism." In 1906, Headlam began the Anti-Puritan League, but it gained only few members. In 1907, Headlam published The Socialist's Church. Vindication After years of conflict with and dismissals by his ecclesiastical superiors, Headlam was vindicated at the end of his life. In October 1924, during his terminal illness, Headlam received a letter from Randall Davidson the Archbishop of Canterbury. My dear Headlam, I hear a report that you are unwell. I hope that it is not serious and work can go on, for I fear that your absence in some circles, educational and other, would be bad for 'affairs' in the country. You, at least, whatever be said about the rest of us, have been consistent in your devotion to the cause or causes for which you care. God keep and bless you. Most truly yours, Randall Cantaur Headlam immediately replied with a "heartfelt letter of thanks". He later commented, "Now I feel I can say that I have won." Death Within a month, more heart attacks led to Headlam's death at his home, "Wavertree", Peter's Road, St Margaret's-on-Thames, Middlesex, on 18 November 1924. His funeral was held at All Souls in St Margarets and he was buried at East Sheen Cemetery on 24 November. Retrospection "Despite Headlam's energy, his rebellious character and his unusual combination of socialism with Christian sacramentalism deprived him of much permanent influence either in the church or in the political world. His practical achievements were limited. He was a prophetic figure, whose passion for social justice was to inspire the small group of Anglican clergy exploring the political application of Christian social concern in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."
