EU 's writings about religious doctrine and practice include the historical and scholarly. The Times Literary Supplement warmly praised her most valuable essay in The Meaning of the Groups, edited by F. A. M. Spencer

EU received most of her accolades during her lifetime. In addition to becoming the first woman both to lecture in religion at Oxford and head retreats in the Anglican Church , she was elected a...

EU returned actively to the Church ofEngland , in which she had been baptised and confirmed. Fourteen years earlier the move would have been unthinkable, as she could not then accept Anglican teachings.

By invitation, EU led an Anglican retreat at Canterbury Cathedral, the first woman to do this.
