January 2018 The Christadelphian Advocate p. 3 The Christadelphian Advocate He that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. Jeremiah 23:28 VOLUME 133 JANUARY 2018 NUMBER 01 Introduction Those of us having come to the Truth aided by the pioneer writings have generally maintained a deep respect for them as instructive and inspiring sources for study and reference, able to assist us in rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). The primary pioneer works the Unamended household commonly turns to were written by Brethren John Thomas, Robert Roberts, John James Andrew, and Thomas Williams. These brethren were all prolific writers, and all produced and edited magazines in defense of the Truth. Many today believe the Unamended community owes its continued existence and doctrinal identity in the 20th and 21st centuries to Brethren Thomas Williams – founder and first editor of The Christadelphian Advocate (March 1885 – present), and John James Andrew – founder and editor of The Sanctuary-Keeper (July 1894 – December 1902). Our attention in this Special Issue is turned exclusively to Brother Thomas Williams and his legacy of adherence to the “old paths” (as expressed in the original 1877 Statement of Faith), through scriptural teachings and his calm, clear advice addressing the issues that then troubled the brotherhood. Brother Williams’ example truly epitomizes staunch adherence and defense of the Truth. He stood fast throughout his public life when other prominent brethren misspoke or faltered. His teachings and positions are recorded in the Advocate throughout the period of his editorship, which has served as the model that successive Advocate editors and committee members have labored to maintain throughout the years. Brother Williams strove by pen and the eloquence of his voice to preach the Gospel – the “good news” of the Kingdom of God. He spoke out firmly against error while laboring to promote peace and unity within the brotherhood during a time of discord and division. His activities (i.e., his writings, his travels around the US, Canada and England, his lectures, debates, etc.) on behalf of the Truth and his brethren’s spiritual welfare established him as a faithful and trusted brother, an able teacher, a wise January 2018 The Christadelphian Advocate p. 4 counsellor, and a friend to all who knew him. As a Sister reminisced upon hearing of his falling asleep, “We esteemed him for his work’s sake. We loved him because he was clean, honest and true, with no mark of deception about him.” (Advocate, January 1914, p. 7) We present this Special Issue in the form of an historical review focusing on Brother Williams’ writings, first-hand accounts, and written reviews reflecting Brother Williams’ many efforts to support and maintain the purity of the “doctrine” as an essential component of a united and peaceful fellowship. We trust this issue will constitute an opportunity to better understand and appreciate the role this exceptional man played in the defense and promulgation of the Truth in North America; that his commitment to the Truth, his love for his brethren, and his leadership might inspire and motivate us as our abilities allow. We humbly suggest that Thomas Williams epitomizes the “old paths” as addressed in Jeremiah 6:16, Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. May we all be motivated to strengthen our efforts to continue steadfastly in the doctrine (Acts 2:42), and in the peace and unity to be found in the fellowship of the Spirit (Philippians 2:1), for surely the coming of our Lord is near. The Christadelphian Advocate Publishing Committee That the system of truths which is sometimes termed “the Truth,” “the Gospel,” “the Faith,” “the Hope,” etc., is a definable system, is evident from the fact that the faithful are exhorted to “earnestly contend” for it, to hold it fast, to not deny it, and to withdraw fellowship from such as, after the “first and second admonition,” refuse to abandon heresies which make it of none effect. The meaning of the letters to the seven churches in Asia is that each church is held responsible for the existence among them of those “holding the doctrines of the Nicolaitanes,” “the doctrines of Balaam,” etc.; and that it is the imperative duty of these churches to remove from among them those who persistently hold to such heresies. The meaning, further, is that if the churches refuse or neglect to do their duty in this respect, the Spirit will extinguish the lights of the disobedient churches, which means that their lot would be that which ultimately befell the church of Laodicea. In many cases obedience to the Spirit’s requirements is an unpleasant duty, and with some persons a duty too severe for fleshly ties to bear; and the weakness (or perhaps the strength) of the flesh is seen in various flimsy excuses for shrinking from duty. (Thomas Williams, “Truth and Fellowship,” Advocate, Vol. 24, May 1908, pp. 151-152) January 2018 The Christadelphian Advocate p. 5 Feature Article Ten Things That Make for Peace Experience is a great teacher from which we learn wisdom. Life’s experiences cause us to appreciate the wisdom of the Word more fully. We see how accurately it characterizes our fallen human nature, as expressed in the apostle’s declaration, For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out (Romans 7:18 ESV). We see our need to be called to a higher standard in which the deeds of the flesh are put off. Not only must we deal with this flesh first in our own selves, but also in our interactions with our brothers and sisters in our ecclesias who are similarly challenged by the weaknesses and flaws to which the flesh is heir. One brother who gained extensive experience in interpersonal and inter -ecclesial relationships among the believers in North America was Thomas Williams, the first editor of The Christadelphian Advocate. Beginning in 1884 – the year before the Advocate began The purpose of this writing is monthly publication, and to summarize the principles continuing to the year of his (as much as possible in his own falling asleep in 1913 – Brother Williams travelled tens of words) that Brother Williams thousands of miles to minister urged upon his brethren … to the needs of the ecclesias. In the course of these travels away from his family, often for months at a time, he stayed with brothers and sisters, getting to know them well. He was frequently called upon to conduct funerals and offer words of comfort to the bereaved. He rejoiced when he had opportunities to undertake baptismal interviews and to assist those in Adam in putting on the sin-covering Name in baptism. As part of the Christadelphian family, he performed marriages for the community. On occasion, he was asked by brethren in business together to mediate when a dispute had arisen between them. All these duties of service arose in addition to what he called “platform work,” by which he meant the responsibility for giving lectures, classes and conducting debates. In addition to these extensive first-hand dealings with many brothers, sisters, and their families and children over a thirty-year period, he published a monthly magazine, an onerous task that led to carrying on correspondence with many others besides those with whom he met in person. As a result of this dedicated service, he interacted with hundreds of brothers and sisters in many places while developing warm affection for them, and they for him.

  • Christadelphians Profile
    Christadelphians By Rebecca Zurbrick and Tim Martin Founder: Dr. John Thomas (1805-1871) Founding Date: 1864 Location of groups today: major areas: U.S., Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Minor areas: Central and South America, Africa, Pacific Rim, and Eastern Europe Official Publications: “The Herald of the Future Age” was a periodical written by Thomas in 1848. He also wrote a book called “Eipis Israel- An Exposition of the Kingdom of God.” Today there are many publications produced by the Christadelphians. The periodicals include: The Christadelphian, The Christadelphian Tidings of the Kingdom of God, The Bible Magazine, The Testimony Magazine, The Gospel News, Faith Alive!, Lookout, The Christadelphian Advocate. Organizational structures: There are no levels of organization, although thoroughly congregational. The highest level would be considered the ecclesia (the local church) which is normally led by the rotation of more mature members. They are called presiding brethren, managing brethren, secretary and treasurer, and superintendent of the Sunday school. Communication occurs through the sharing of periodicals, small groups, travel, mail, and other various forms. Schools: Texas Christadelphian Camp and Conference Center, Terra Nova Bible School (Newfoundland, Canada), and the Russian Bible School. Unique terms: They use “ecclesia” instead of “church,” “fraternal gatherings’ which is a group that meets to spiritually up-build the members, further their enlightment in the Scriptures, and for the instruction of the public. Other names: The Berean Christadelphians, The Dawn Christadelphians, Brothers of Christ, Thomasites. HISTORY John Thomas was born in Hoxton Square, London, on April 12th, 1805 and studied medicine at an early age in Chorley and London.1 During his migration to America in 1832, the ship he was on sprung a leak.

  • Christadelphian Treasury
    CHRISTADELPHIAN TREASURY FORMING A COLLECTION OF EXTRACTS FROM WRITINGS EXHIBITING "THE TRUTH" IN OPPOSITION TO THE DOGMAS OF PAPAL AND PROTESTANT CHRISTENDOM BY Dr. JOHN THOMAS, ROBERT ROBERTS, AND OTHER WELL-KNOWN CHRISTADELPHIANS COMPILED, DIGESTED OR WRITTEN BY FRANK G. JANNAWAY Author of "Christadelphian Answers1', "Without the Camp" "Palestine and the Powers", etc. A REPRODUCTION OF AN ORIGINAL EDITION BY heriaLD p 4011 BOLIVIA 1 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77092 PREFACE. " The Christadelphian Treasury " seeks to be of real service to Christadelphians in re-stating and re-empha- sising Christadelphian Truths· Such an aim is justifiable at any time; in these days it is an urgent necessity in view of threatening dangers. In this respect the present volume claims to be especially " A Book for the Times"· An esteemed brother—J. C. Bruce, of Jersey City, U.S.A.—reminded us forcefully at a recent London Fraternal Gathering that " we have an inborn disposi- tion to fall away from the Truth". To counteract this disposition, individual self-examination and ecclesial exhortation are essential if purity of doctrine and con- sistent conduct are to be maintained. Thanks to the mercy of God, Apostolic Truth and its essential correlative Apostolic Practice, have been re- discovered through the instrumentality of Dr. Thomas and Brother Robert Roberts in these latter days of the Gentiles. Their task was one of extraordinary difficulty —how difficult the published record of their lives and work gives some indication. But they succeeded; they consolidated the Truth they had re-discovered; they crystallized their strenuous labours in convenient form in the writings they left on the Truth—an incomparable library of the Truth's literature which has been second only to the Bible itself in the work of enlightenment in PREFACE these days.
