  • A GUIDE to Ss MARY and JOHN CHURCH, OXFORD
    A GUIDE TO Ss MARY AND JOHN CHURCH, OXFORD Introduction The Parish of Cowley St John dates from 4 August 1868 and owes its origin to Fr. Richard Meux Benson (1824–1915). The foun da tion stone of this Church was laid in October 1875, and the present Deco - rat ed Style building in Charlbury stone, was designed by Alfred Mardon Mowbray and put up in instalments as the money trickled in. A memorial Calvary to Fr. Benson has stood near the Church entry since 20 November 1917. The Chancel (1875–79) was bricked across the west end to be used as a church. It is dedicated to Archbishop Longley of Canterbury, a previous Vicar of 'old' Cowley (Cowley St James) who died in 1868 and was much admired for his inspiration at .the 1st Lambeth Conference. The Nave and Side Aisles were then built so that the whole Church could be dedicated on November 6th 1883. The Tower and the South Porch were added in 1893, but the glass screen and doors were not added until 1988. The motif on the doors of St Mary and St John at the foot of the cross is by Margaret Cul- len. The clock with its three faces in the tower was put in from 1928 to 1930. The Vestries were built onto the east end behind the High Altar between 1911–1912. The First Vicar from 1870–1886 was Father Benson who not only created this Parish but also founded within it the fi rst Religious Order for men in the Church of England since the Reformation.

  • Origins of Anglo-Catholic Missions: Fr Richard Benson and the Initial Missions of the Society of St John the Evangelist, –
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. , No. , January . © Cambridge University Press doi:./S Origins of Anglo-Catholic Missions: Fr Richard Benson and the Initial Missions of the Society of St John the Evangelist, – by ROWAN STRONG Murdoch University E-mail: [email protected] This paper investigates the origins of Anglican Anglo-Catholic missions, through the missionary theology and practice of the founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, Fr Richard Benson, and an exploration of its initial missionary endeavours: the Twelve-Day Mission to London in , and two missions in India from . The Indian missions comprised an institutional mission at Bombay and Pune, and a unique ascetic enculturated mission at Indore by Fr Samuel Wilberforce O’Neill SSJE. It is argued that Benson was a major figure in the inauguration of Anglo-Catholic missions; that his ritualist moderation was instrumental in the initial public success of Anglo-Catholic domestic mission; and that in overseas missions he had a clear theological preference for disconnecting evangelism from Europeanising. Benson’s approach, more radical than was normal in the second half of the nineteenth century, was a consequence of envisaging mission’s being undertaken by a religious order, an entirely new phenomenon for Anglican missions. The Oxford Movement and mission he original Tractarian leaders were not much interested in overseas mission. As an Evangelical the young John Henry Newman did exhibit some interest in the area, serving as secretary to Oxford’s T branch of the Church Mission Society for a year from to . But as a leader of the burgeoning Oxford Movement from he was SPG = Society for the Propagation of the Gospel; SSJE = Society of St John the Evangelist; UMCA = Universities’ Mission to Central Africa The letters and diaries of John Henry Newman, ed.

  • Roland-Allen-Vol1-Ch1.Pdf
    1. Formation of an Anglican Missionary Familial Legacy: Evangelical Anglicanism When Hubert John Brooke Allen, the grandson and biographer of Roland Allen (1868-1947), was ‘about twelve years old’, he asked his grandfather (‘Granfer’) when he would be allowed to read the books that his grandfather had written.1 His grandfather told young Hubert: ‘Oh, yes, you can read them by all means – but you won’t understand them; I don’t think anyone is going to understand them until I’ve been dead ten years. ”2 Later in life, Hubert decided to honour his grandfather’s legacy by writing a biography of his life entitled Roland Allen: Pioneer, Priest, and Prophet (1995). Interestingly, shortly after Roland Allen’s death, various missionaries and missiologists began to engage with his ideas through their publications on mission work, as well as to apply his methods on the mission field. However, Hubert indicated that, of these writers, ‘almost all of them have been well-intentioned and fairly accurate’ yet the biographer argued that: ‘many of them have portrayed a rather dry theologian, rather than a warm and kindly – if rather austere and argumentative – human being.’3 These characterizations of Roland prompted a familial response to clarify the narrative. Hubert’s informative biography tells the rest of the story from his own personal interaction with his grandfatherSAMPLE while living in East Africa, his ‘inquisitive’ analysis of Roland’s books and archives, and further disclosure through ‘family memorabilia preserved by Grannie, which came to light . [Hubert says] after my wife and I took over my parents’ home in Marston Village, near Oxford’.4 Missiologists are indebted to Hubert Allen for providing clarity about his grandfather’s life.
