Kensit, John

Kensit, John
(1853–1902)
   Polemicist.
   Kensit was born in London, England, in humble circumstances. A committed and fervent Protestant, he founded the City Protestant Bookshop in London in 1885 and in 1890 he became the Secretary of the Protestant Truth Society. He was appalled by the activities of the ritualists in the Church of England. He organised demonstrations against them and established the Wycliffe Preachers. He met his end while conducting a Protestant crusade in Liverpool. He was assaulted by a largely Roman Catholic mob and he died in hospital soon afterwards.
