Adam Sedgewick was a British geologist and Anglican priest, one of the founders of modern geology.

Charles Kingsley was a broad church priest of the Church of England, a university professor, social reformer, historian, novelist and poet. He is particularly associated with Christian socialism, the working men's college and forming labour cooperatives, which encouraged later working reforms.

Kingsley received letters from Thomas Huxley in 1860, and sent letters in 1863 discussing Huxley's early ideas on agnosticism.

He was sympathetic to the idea of evolution and was one of the first to welcome Charles Darwin's book On the Origin of Species.
