Arthur Gabriel Hebert SSM (1886–1963) was an English monk of Kelham, Nottinghamshire (more strictly a member of the Society of the Sacred Mission), and a proponent within Anglicanism of the ideas of the Liturgical Movement. As such he was in familiar contact with Benedictine monasteries in Austria and Germany. Hebert also had contacts with artists and with Protestant circles in Switzerland and with the high church Lutheran movement in Sweden. He was very much aware of the social implications of liturgical renewal in Continental Europe.

Many mistakenly read his surname as Herbert. Notice the 'r' before the 'b'. But his actual surname is Hebert, with only one 'r', which is before the 't'. This is most likely due to the fact that "Herbert" is a well-known name while Hebert is relatively unknown, and the brain makes a quick, though in this case erroneous, judgement. Both the modern editions from SPCK and Wipf & Stock, which have been on sale for years now, have made this error on their Amazon pages and websites, though the actual publications themselves still retain the correct spelling. Alistair Mason's History of the Society of the Sacred Mission refers correctly to Hebert in the body of the text but 'Herbert' in the index.^[7] The name is pronounced 'Heebert'.^[8]

Hebert was in some respects a disciple of Gregory Dix.

Early life[]

Hebert was born on 28 May 1886 in Silloth, Cumberland, the son of the priest Septimus Hebert and his wife Caroline Charlotte Haslam.^[9] He graduated from the University of Oxford with first-class honours in literae humaniores.^[10]
