One of his former associates, : the Reverend J. Clyde Henry, minister of the First Presbyterian Church, Lambertville, N.J., has prepared a worthy tribute to Dr. Macartney which we are making available to the alumni in this issue. It was the privilege of your editor to give two lectures on Worship last autumn at the annual Conference on Evangelism of the United Church of Canada at Whitby, Ontario. The substance of these lectures was put in pamphlet form and appears here under the title “Worship and Evangelism.” We are grateful to the Reverend Donovan Norquist, assistant to the Dean of Field Service, for his careful and painstaking work in the preparation of the annual list of publications by the Faculty.

  • Knox Church and James Matheson
    Knox Church and James Matheson. Knox Church in the 1950’s was a microcosm of the surging church life of the time, when everything was “going like a train”. (A.D. Horwell) Church Extension boomed in the new suburbs, as part of the New Life Movement. Some sixty new parishes were established during the decade. Some remarkable Presbyterian preachers up and down the land open up new horizons of theology, social justice, ecumenism, and as Allan Davidson has pointed out, dynamic laypeople cut through the old clerical autocracy.1 Schools trained ministers and elders in visitation evangelism. The Bible Class movement boomed. Women’s claims for leadership roles were slowly being recognized by the mid-1950’s. Jim Matheson, then, this is my thesis in advance, did not wave some magic wand of renewal during his decade at Knox Church, 1951-1960. His contribution was substantial and indeed remarkable but he also surfed the waves of a buoyant church life in Otago and Southland, which sent hundreds of young people to train as nurses and students in Dunedin. He inherited a congregation which in 1951 was strong, had a good conceit of itself, and was exceptional in its provision of staff, with deaconess, nurse, organist, secretary as well as two ministers and its own missionary. In its AGM of 1948 it was described as the biggest congregation of the Presbyterian Church in NZ and it was regarded as fitting that it should also have in David Herron the best minister. The ‘ruggedness and toughness’ of his addresses was noted. 2 The Rev Dr David Herron CBE, had played a magisterial role as Moderator of the Church, as Chancellor of Otago University and had been awarded an honorary Doctorate by St Andrew University.

  • Religious Broadcasting — Friend Or Foe?
    RELIGIOUS BROADCASTING — FRIEND OR FOE? Near the beginning of his fascinating `Foreword' to Melville Din- widdie's Religion by Radio, the late Lord Reith, master-architect of British Broadcasting, makes this controversial statement: Religion by radio — probably relatively the most ineffectual and anyhow the most inefficient ... of all the sectional activities of broadcasting. Later in the same `Foreword', his exposition of this apparently denigratory thesis expresses even more upsetting sentiments: The comment above about the ineffectualness and inefficiency of broadcast religious activities is not to any extent chargeable to the transmitting end — conception, planning, mounting, execution; nor to the receiving end as such. It did and does apply to follow-up — or rather lack of follow-up. The Churches, all denominations and confessions, presumably exist to bring men to a knowledge of, and faith in, Christ; `Come and See' their supreme com- mission. In business terms, they have something to sell. Here millions of pounds worth of advertising has been done for them free. Nor did they realise what was required by way of follow-up to those whose interest had been revived. If they had, there might have been a national revival on a scale hitherto unimagined. There is just enough truth behind Reith's judgement to make his statements sting. For example when the late Very Rev. Dr. John White preached in Glasgow Cathedral in the late 'forties, on the occasion of the BBC's Semi Jubilee in Scotland, he reminded us that he had gone ahead with the first-ever Glasgow radio Outside Broad- cast of a Church Service from The Barony in face of the opposition of the Presbytery of Glasgow who, somehow or other, saw both sacrilege and blasphemy in this innovation.

THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND ARMY CHAPLAINS IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR David George Coulter The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 1997 ABSTRACT This thesis is the first study of Church of Scotland chaplains serving with the Army during the Second World War. It explores the way in which the Church of Scotland accepted the chaJlenge of the Second World War and how the Presbyterian chaplains were recruited, trained and how they performed their ministerial duties under wartime conditions. The thesis opens with an examination of the Church of Scotland during the inter-war years, with particular attention to the background of those ministers who were ordained in the 1930s and who were later recruited as Army Chaplains from 1939-45. The discussion highlights pacifism, anti-Semitism, and the Scottish response on the German Church struggle.
