Sibyl Harton Explained

Sibyl Harton (1898-1993) was a major Church of England writer during the twentieth century. She was a correspondent with Thomas Merton during the 1960s, and visited him at the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Bardstown, Kentucky. She is generally associated with an Anglo-Catholic perspective in theological writing. Harton was a frequent contributor to The Living Church magazine in the United States and published book reviews in English theological periodicals. She was a popular retreat director in the Episcopal Church during the 1960s and 1970s, and a vocal opponent of the ordination of women to the priesthood.

She was the wife and widow of Frederic Harton (1889-1958), Dean of Wells, a theological author in his own right who made significant adaptation of French- and Italian-language spiritual writing into an Anglican reading context.
