Frank Sheed

Frank Sheed

Frank Sheed (1897-1981) was a Catholic apologist and street-corner speaker originally from Australia. He lived in London from 1926 onward. Unlike many of the other prominent Catholic writers in England at that time Sheed was not a convert, but raised Catholic and of Irish descent. Along with his wife, Mary "Maisie" Ward, he founded "Sheed & Ward." The couple tend to be linked together in accomplishments. [ [http://www.ignatiusinsight.com/authors/franksheed.asp Ignatius Insight] ] The couple have sometimes been cited as a modern Catholic example of street preaching.
