context_page_description: William Pennefather was an Irish Anglican cleric who spent most of his adult life in England. He was famous for his hymns and sermons, and also for missionary work with Catherine Pennefather. Catherine founded several projects in his name in the twenty years after his death.
context_section_description: He continued to hold conferences on missionary work until his sudden death on 30 April 1873. This interdenominational initiative, and his evident piety, were precursors of the Keswick Convention.
  The leader of the Church Mission Society, Eugene Stock, called him "the George Mueller of the Church of England".
  He was remembered as one of the most influential mission preachers of his time. He was the author of numerous hymns, of which probably the best-known is "Jesus,  Stand Among Us". He  also published several books of sermons.
  The Mildmay Conference Hall was demolished in the 1940s; council housing was built on its site.
  Mildmay is an HIV charity which traces its roots back to Pennefather and his Church-sponsored hospital. Mildmay Mission Hospital  operates in London, with related work abroad.
