  • It Is a Little Known Fact That Men and Women, Boys and Girls Are Trafficked to Work in the Cotton Industry
    Dressed It is a little known fact that men and women, boys and girls are trafficked to work in the cotton industry. It is also a fact that most people do not consider this when buying their clothes. Lured in by fashionable clothes do we stop and think about how the cotton is spun, dyed and woven in factories? Likewise are businesses aware of the unethical and at times criminal behaviour of their suppliers?

  • The Atonement Debate Within Contemporary Evangelicalism Mick Taylor September 2006
    The Atonement Debate within Contemporary Evangelicalism Mick Taylor September 2006 The fact is that the cross isn’t a form of cosmic child abuse – a vengeful Father, punishing his Son for an offence he has not even committed. Understandably, both people inside and outside of the Church have found this twisted version of events morally dubious and a huge barrier to faith. Deeper than that, however, is that such a concept stands in total contradiction to the statement “God is love”. If the cross is a personal act of violence perpetrated by God towards humankind but borne by his Son, then it makes a mockery of Jesus’ own teaching to love your enemies and to refuse to repay evil with evil. (The Lost Message of Jesus by Steve Chalke and Alan Mann p182-183) It was this quote from a brief section, in the last chapter of a short book that turned academic debate into public controversy. Over the last 20 years there had been developing within British and North American evangelical academia a discussion over what is the correct way to understand the work of Christ on the cross? The chief concern was the status of the doctrine of penal substitution, is it the best model? The only model? Is it scriptural? Is it helpful or harmful? The Lost Message of Jesus by Steve Chalke and Alan Mann and Steve’s subsequent article on the atonement in the Christianity magazine fathered mountains of correspondence, an EA sponsored debate then in July 2005 a 3 day symposium at the London School of Theology.

  • 1 British Baptist Crucicentrism Since the Late
    1 British Baptist Crucicentrism since the Late Eighteenth Century David Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling On 24 May 1791 William Carey, soon to become the pioneer of the Baptist Missionary Society, was ordained to the Christian ministry at his meeting house in Harvey Lane, Leicester. His friend Samuel Pearce, minister in Birmingham, preached the evening ordination sermon. Pearce’s text was Galatians 6:14, ‘God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.’ His message was that, as a minister, Carey should concentrate on proclaiming Christ crucified.1 This gathering of Baptists who were about to launch the worldwide mission of the Anglo-American Evangelical churches strongly believed that the cross was the fulcrum of the Christian faith. Andrew Fuller, who had delivered the charge to the people on the day of Carey’s ordination, was of the same mind. In a sermon on a different occasion Fuller insisted that the death of Christ was not so much a portion of the body of Christian doctrine as its life- blood. ‘The doctrine of the cross’, he declared, ‘is the christian doctrine.’2 A similar refrain was sustained by Baptists during the nineteenth century. ‘Of all the doctrines of the gospel’, wrote the contributor of an article on the atonement to the Baptist Magazine in 1819, ‘there is none more important than this’.3 A similar point was made in a more florid way in the same journal eighteen years later.

  • Ministers' Fraternal Study Guides
    Ministers’ Fraternal Study Guides Ecumenical Relations John Rosser Introduction Biblical ecumenism was the defining issue that brought the British Evangelical Council into being 50 years ago and it is still at the heart of Affinity’s ethos. Hence this Study Guide makes several references to Affinity. We need to establish and apply a balanced Scriptural approach to worshipping, working and witnessing with other Christians. This will help and guide us when we face the issue from a number of perspectives: • Personal fellowship or friendship • The local church • A denomination or group of churches • Para-church organisations • Promoting our understanding of biblical ecumenism beyond our comfort zone Key Biblical Data The Positive Dimension: 1. O.T. The blessings of unity in fellowship and worship: Ps. 133, Eccles. 4:9-12, Amos 3:3, Mal 3:16- 19, Ps. 122 A faithful remnant: 1 Ki. 19:18 2. N.T. Jesus’ command: Jn. 13:34-5 Jesus’ prayer: Jn. 17:11-23 The young church in action: Acts 2:42-7 & 4:32-5 Paul’s theology: Gal. 3:26-29 Paul’s encouragement: Rom. 15:1 & 5-7, 1 Cor. 1:10-13 & 3:1-9, Eph. 4:2-6, Phil. 1:3-5 & 27 & 2:1-4 A reminder from Hebrews: 13:1 The Negative dimension: 1.

Authors Anne-Marie Barry, Rachel Palmer Layout Sue Wood All images provided by STOP THE TRAFFIK and Us (United Society). “Everyone is talking about the crime of human trafficking. The UK’s Modern Slavery Act requires businesses to wake up to the fact that trafficking is everywhere and it’s not all about the sex trade. Think hard before investing. Check out what risks companies really have in this area and what they are reporting on. That’s why Forced Labour, Human Trafficking & The FTSE 100 is such a valuable tool – an extraordinary resource for everyone who cares about good business, ethics and human rights.” Steve Chalke UN. GIFT Special Adviser on Community Action Against Human Trafficking "Modern slavery is a scourge that grossly undermines the inherent and God-given dignity of the human, and we must work urgently to eradicate it from our world. This report highlights that in our globalised economy, any business can be exposed to slavery through its supply chain. Companies that have conducted audits have been shocked to discover that they have been unwitting benefi- ciaries of slave labour. The transparency in supply chains measure in the Modern Slavery Act is a call to action that I urge British business to seize." Justin Welby Archbishop of Canterbury “Transparency in the supply chain and measures that prevent modern slavery and exploitation in business will help to change cultures to ensure that human dignity is protected in the workplace.
