Good introduction to him, Joel. You are reflecting well the spirit of Matthew 7:3-5. That temptation to criticize others does not melt away at age 40, 50, 60 or 70....... Maybe it is slightly more tempting in younger years, but I have found Luke 18:9 to be an ongoing challenge.
Lord Biggar must be in the House of Lords now, and I think they are less engaged than in the 19th century. Lord Shaftesbury was first in the House of Commons, elected, then moved to the House of Lords when his father died. I wonder if Lord Biggar would see him as a role model in any way.
