Eric James

Canon Eric James (born 1925) is an Anglican clergyman, Chaplain Extraordinary to HM the Queen and for many years a regular on BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day programme. He has been associated for some years with St Albans Cathedral.

He left school in Dagenham, Essex, at fourteen, when the Second World War broke out, and worked for seven years at a riverside wharf on the Thames where the Globe Theatre now stands. After ordination, he became chaplain of Trinity College, Cambridge, and thereby became associated with some of the most famous and influential clerics of his generation: Mervyn Stockwood, John Robinson (author of the bestseller "Honest to God"), Robert Runcie and Trevor Huddleston. James was made chaplain to HM the Queen in 1984 and was preacher to Gray's Inn from 1978 to 1997, as well as Director of Christian Action from 1979 to 1990 and one of the people who inspired the 1985 "Faith in the City" report.

He was also the biographer of Bishop John A.T. Robinson.
