A Cambridge-educated priest travels to India and South Africa to confront empire - but at what cost to his home, faith, and peace?

The education that made him Cambridge's voice---and cost him home and peace

In this episode, we follow Charles Freer Andrews from a crowded Newcastle childhood to the halls of Pembroke College and out into the empire. The episode traces the choices he made-leaving Cambridge, speaking publicly against British treatment of Indians, and taking assignments in Delhi, Madras, South Africa and beyond-and asks what those choices demanded of him and those he left behind.
