To prepare himself for the Congregationalist ministry, he entered In September 1886 New College London. He studied economics and won the Ricardo economic scholarship at University College London. In 1892 Gray went to Leeds to work as a Congregationalist but in 1894 joined the Unitarians. He served from 1894 to 1897 as Unitarian minister at Warwick and from 1898 to 1902 as a Unitarian social worker in London at the Bell Street Mission, Edgware Road. He became more socialist in politics and economics and joined the Independent Labour Party. Because of health problems, he retired from strenuous work and moved to Hampstead to do research on the history of English philanthropic movements. He lectured in 1905 at the London School of Economics on his research.^[1]
