克拉彭教派是一个福音派基督徒团体，大约在 1790 年至 1830 年期间在英国颇为盛行，他们致力于废除奴隶制并在国内外推广传教工作。该组织以伦敦南部克拉彭教区长约翰·维恩 (John Venn) 的教堂为中心。其成员包括威廉·威尔伯福斯、亨利·桑顿、詹姆斯·斯蒂芬、扎卡里·麦考利等人。斯蒂芬·汤姆金斯讲述了这个群体的迷人故事，作为一个家庭关系网之一——父亲和儿子、阿姨和侄子、丈夫和妻子、女儿和父亲、堂兄弟姐妹等等。在这些人的故事中，有他们著名的反对奴隶贸易、然后是奴隶制、塞拉利昂殖民地、印第安传教、家庭传教、慈善和政治运动的故事。本书最后评估了克拉彭教派对维多利亚时代的英国和帝国的长期影响。
The Clapham Sect was a group of evangelical Christians, prominent in England from about 1790 to 1830, who campaigned for the abolition of slavery and promoted missionary work at home and abroad. The group centred on the church of John Venn, rector of Clapham in south London. Its members included William Wilberforce, Henry Thornton, James Stephen, Zachary Macaulay and others. Stephen Tomkins tells the fascinating story of the group as one of a web of family relations - father and son, aunt and nephew, husband and wife, daughter and father, cousins, etc. Within the story of the people are the stories of their famous campaigns against the slave trade, then slavery, the Sierra Leone colony, Indian mission, home mission, charity and politics. The book ends by assessing the long term influence of the Clapham Sect on Victorian Britain and the Empire.
