OBITUARY NOTICE—
See index for CA sketch: Born February 3, 1909, in Tipton, Devonshire, England; died September 2, 2003. Educator and author. Every was a scholar of history who often wrote on religious subjects and was, in addition, a poet talented enough—though little recognized as such—to have been praised by T. S. Eliot. After attending what is now the University of Exeter for three years, he received his B.A. in history from the University of London in 1929, continuing on to study at Kelham Theological College until 1932. Every stayed at Kelham as a lecturer and librarian until 1973. After his conversion to Catholicism, he became a part-time lecturer at Oscott College. Among his many publications are The Byzantine Patriarchate, 451-1204 (1947; second edition, 1962), The Baptismal Sacrifice (1959), Misunderstandings between East and West (1966), and Understanding Eastern Christianity (1978; second edition, 1980). Though he published little of his poetry, his Christmas poems saw print in Light under a Door (1958) and in a festschrift published by Oscott College in 1989 titled Something of Every-Man: A Celebration of George Every's 80th Birthday.
