Chris Loten (1961-2022) was a student within the Centre for Research for Quaker Studies when he died with cancer. He was exploring Bible usage amongst Quakers and had developed a sophisticated methodological approach using the Digital Quaker Collection at Earlham and a way of identifying and counting the use of each passage of the Bible in Quaker texts over time. Chris was also natural communicator and collaborator and did much to encourage and enhance the postgraduate community focused on Quaker studies. This award is dedicated to his memory.
