Frank Weston (1871–1924) was an Anglican clergyman who served as bishop of Zanzibar (present-day Tanzania) in 1908–1924. He was a staunch Anglo-Catholic, belonging to the wing of the Anglican Church that emphasized the church’s continuity with its Roman Catholic heritage rather than its Protestant identity. Weston became involved in the bitter Kikuyu controversy of 1913–1914, where he objected to the Protestant federation, and in particular to the exchange of pulpits and the admission of non-Anglicans to communion in Anglican churches. He gave a famous address at the Second Anglo-Catholic Congress in 1923, in which he urged the participants to “Go out and look for Jesus in the ragged, in the naked, in the oppressed and sweated, in those who have lost hope, in those who are struggling to make good. Look for Jesus. And when you see him, gird yourselves with his towel and try to wash their feet.” (Wikipedia)
