  • “Blest Be the Dear Uniting Love”: George Jackson (1864-1945) and the Transatlantic Connections of Methodism in Canada, the USA and Great Britain
    Methodist History, 50:3 (April 2012) “BLEST BE THE DEAR UNITING LOVE”: GEORGE JACKSON (1864-1945) AND THE Transatlantic CONNECTIONS OF METHODISM IN CANADA, THE USA AND Great Britain1 MARTIN WELLINGS Historians of the early years of the Evangelical Revival, like George Rawlyk, Reg Ward and Mark Noll, have taught us to recognise the web of contacts and correspondence linking Europe, Great Britain and North America in the mid-eighteenth century, contacts which helped to dissemi- nate the stories and methodology of the Revival.2 Scholars and students have not paid as much attention to the later history of those connections, and this paper suggests that this is a topic whose significance we might profitably consider. The paper offers a case study of a man, a book and a reaction. The man is George Jackson (1864-1945), a minister of the British Wesleyan Methodist Connexion. The book is The Preacher and the Modern Mind, the published version of a lecture Jackson gave to the Wesleyan Conference in Liverpool, England, in July, 1912. The reaction has been described as a rare example of organised Fundamentalism among British Methodists, spawning one of the very few groups in Great Britain which fits George Marsden’s definition of a Fundamentalist: “an Evangelical who is angry about something.”3 And Jackson’s opponents in the Wesley Bible Union were certainly very angry indeed.4 At first sight this controversy within British Methodism looks very insular, but further investigation reveals that George Jackson’s formation as a preacher and theologian, his reputation as an advocate of “modern thought” and the reactions to The Preacher and the Modern Mind all owed a good deal 1 A version of this paper was presented to the Wesleyan Studies Group at the American Academy of Religion in Montreal in 2009, and I am grateful to members of the Group for their insightful comments.

  • Of the Church
    · .. __._--_._-------------------------------..,..- THE MET~IODIST DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH by Durward Hofler There is no Wesleyan doctrine of the church as such, for John Wesley unlike John Calvin did not undertake a systematic com­ pilation of his theology or his ecclesiology. The student must search for Wesley's understanding of the church in his doctrinal views. Accordingly, this study will be limited to what can be found about the doctrine of the church in Wesley's writings and in the history of American Methodism down to 1820. Inherent in Wesley's doctrine of the witness of the spirit is his view of the church. He made some affirmations concerning the witness of the spirit which throw light on his understanding of the church. Listed in the order of their importance to Wesley the affirmations are as follows. First, Wesley insisted that he had a divine call or mission to save souls. He wrote to James Hervey on March 20,1739: On scriptural principles I do not think it hard to justify whatever I do. God in scripture commands me, according to my power, to instruct the ignorant, reform the wicked, confirm the virtuous. Man forbids me to do this in another's parish: that is, in effect, to do it at all; seeing I have now no parish of my own, nor probably ever shall. Whom, then, shall I hear, God or man? A dispensation of the gospel is committed to me; and woe is me if I preach not the gospel. ...I look upon all the world as my parish.1 Obviously in citing scripture to justify action contrary to the will of his church, Wesley was indirectly saying that the salvation of souls takes precedence over church authority and practice.

  • Church Membership and Pastoral Authority in American Methodism
    Church Membership and Pastoral Authority in American Methodism Rex D. Matthews NB: This paper is very much a work-in-progress and is intended only for discussion by members of the Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies. Please refrain from public quotation or attribution without the specific consent of the author. Introduction A recent decision by the Judicial Council of The United Methodist Church stimulated a good deal of controversy across the denomination. That decision stated that “the pastor in charge of a United Methodist church or charge is solely responsible for making the determination of a person’s readiness to receive the vows of membership.” It further stated that a pastor in charge “cannot be ordered by the district superintendent or bishop to admit into membership a person deemed not ready or able to meet the requirements of the vows of church membership of The United Methodist Church,” and concluded that the 2004 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church “invests discretion in the pastor in charge to make the determination of a person’s readiness to affirm the vows of membership.”1 In a “Pastoral Letter to the People of The United Methodist Church” issued in response to that Judicial Council decision, the Council of Bishops of The United Methodist Church plainly affirms the “Wesleyan practice” that “pastors are accountable to the bishop, [district] superinten- dent, and the clergy on matters of ministry and membership.” Bishop Peter Weaver, at the time the President of the Council of Bishops, was quoted

The primary research question is defined as: “To what extent do the dialogues under analysis relate to Arminian soteriology?” By seeking an answer to this question, new knowledge is sought on the current soteriological position of the Methodist-Lutheran dialogues, the contemporary Methodist theology and the commonalities between the Lutheran and Arminian understanding of soteriology. This way the soteriological picture of the Methodist-Lutheran discussions is clarified. The dialogues under analysis were selected on the basis of versatility. Firstly, the sole world organisation level dialogue was chosen: The Church – Community of Grace. Additionally, the document World Methodist Council and the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is analysed as a supporting document. Secondly, a document concerning the discussions between two main-line churches in the United States of America was selected: Confessing Our Faith Together.

  • Diversity and Co-Operation
    CHAPTER 2 Diversity and Co-operation Dissent traced its origins back to the seventeenth century. During the Commonwealth Presbyterianism had triumphed. The Church of England had been re-organised on Presbyterian lines: bishops had been abolished; all ministers were treated as equal. In 1662, following the restoration of Charles II to the throne and bishops to the church, those ministers who could not accept the new dispensation were ejected from their posts. Many gathered congregations outside the Church of England; and most were Presbyterians. During the eighteenth century their successors, swayed by the influences of the Age of Reason, gradually abandoned Trinitarian orthodoxy. By the early nineteenth century many of these ‘rational Dissenters’ were prepared to call themselves Unitarians.1 Although their origins were mainly Presbyterian, they differed totally from the Presbyterians of the nineteenth century—essentially Scottish immigrants who brought their orthodox religion to the major cities, together with Northumberland, and who in 1851 possessed 160 places of worship and 0.2% of the population.2 The Unitarians were of comparable strength,SAMPLE with 229 chapels and 0.2%, but were spread rather more evenly over the country. Their city centre causes, such as High Pavement in Nottingham or Mill Hill in Leeds, were dominated by prosperous business and professional families with a powerful civic spirit whose Dissent was usually hereditary. Yet a wide social range was to be found amongst them. In Lancashire a rationalist schism from Methodism had brought over a substantial working-class membership.3 There was a steady 1 R. K.

    Mission Studies as Evangelization and Teology for World Christianity Refections on Mission Studies in Britian and Ireland, 2000 - 2015 Kirsteen Kim DOI: 10.7252/Paper. 000051 About the Author Kirsteen Kim, Ph.D., is Professor of Teology and World Christianity at Leeds Trinity University. Kirsteen researches and teaches theology from the perspective of mission and world Christianity, drawing on her experience of Christianity while living and working in South Korea, India and the USA, with a special interest in theology of the Holy Spirit. She publishes widely and is the editor of Mission Studies, the journal of the International Association for Mission Studies. 72 | Mission Studies as Evangelization and Theology for World Christianity Foreword In 2000 and in 2012 I published papers for the British and Irish Association for Mission Studies (BIAMS) on mission studies in Britain and Ireland, which were published in journals of theological education.1 Tese two papers surveyed the state of mission studies and how in this region it is related to various other disciplines. Each paper suggested a next stage in the development of mission studies: the frst saw mission studies as facilitating a worldwide web of missiological discussion; the second suggested that mission studies should be appreciated as internationalizing theology more generally. Tis article reviews the developments in Britain and Ireland over the years which are detailed in these articles and bring them up to date. It further argues that, while continuing to develop as “mission studies” or “missiology”, the discipline should today claim the names “theology for world Christianity” and “studies in evangelization.

  • ECCLESIASTICAL* on December 24, 1784
    r I I ') ,tII Methodist History, 23:1 (October 1984) I I 11,J BALTIM0 RE 1784-HISTORICAL-THEOLOGICAL­ ! ECCLESIASTICAL* K. JAMES STEIN On December 24, 1784 some sixty Methodist preachers gathered on invitation at their Lovely Lane Chapel in Baltimore, Maryland for what j would prove to be a critically important gathering for their small but 1 rapidly growing movement in America. By the time the conference ended ;1 .1 on January 2, 1785 it had created an independent church with its own fully , I ordained ministry, sacramental life, formalized liturgy, doctrinal norms, q h 'I~ ,I ethical standards, and a sharply-defined sense of mission for the future. I :! ,I In many ways this was not an auspicious gathering. Its setting was not ! j elaborate. The little stone chapel, which no longer remains, was extremely , i plain, except for its arched windows. Especially for the comfort of the ;i .. i." preachers, the congregation had placed a large wood stove in the building and added backs to the benches in anticipation of the long conference session. 1 Moreover, most of the participants at the conference were dis­ tinguished in neither learning nor experience. Only a few had received a classical education and could read the Scriptures in the original languages, although a number of them were self-taught. Beyond that, most of them were not old enough to be well-experienced in ministry. Thomas Coke wrote at the time: "I admire the body of American preachers.... They are 'j" ~' I indeed a body of devoted, disinterested men, but most of them young."2 , .t-' I,,,; " ·1 One analysis of the preachers present suggested that only seven of these ::';1 men had itinerated as much as eight years.

  • Pilgrim News & Notes
    PILGRIM NEWS & NOTES OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE MIDWEST PILGRIM HOLINESS CHURCH DECEMBER 2016 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem . Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. - Matthew 2: 1-2 The Midwest Pilgrim Holiness Conference wishes you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!! How CHRISTMAS Reminds Me of a Day in LONDON! By Rev. Nathan Purdy It was a swelteringly hot, sun-drenched day. The yuletide tradition of hugging a hot cocoa by a blazing fireside, while carols play and snowflakes fall silently outside, could not have been further from my mind. True, my heartbeat was racing with a festive-like excitement. It had nothing, however, to do with a magical winter wonderland or the thrilling suspense of tearing the glittering paper from a gift at Christmas. In- stead, I was striding toward 49 City Road, London. And then, there it was! It was a heart-stopping moment; something akin to glimpsing a dream gift through a tear in the paper; through the railing stood the chapel where John Wesley preached and the Georgian home where he lived. Soon, I was walking where the founder of Methodism had walked, my head swimming with the eternal significance of this historic base of Methodist operations. It was time to step in and explore this gift of a lifetime. As the doors of this hallowed spot swung shut behind me, time stood still.
