Morrison pioneered the translation of the Bible into First Protestant Missionary to China Chinese and planned for the Born January 5, 1782 distribution of the Scriptures as broadly Bullers Green, Morpeth, Northumberland, as possible, unlike the previous Roman Catholic translation work that had England never been published.[2] Died August 1, 1834 (aged 52) Guangzhou, Guangdong, China Morrison cooperated with such contemporary missionaries as Walter Title D.D.

Bebbington 31 July 2015 I, Cullen Thomas Clark, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work which it embodies is my work and has not been included in another thesis. Signed: Cullen Thomas Clark, 31 July 2015 ii Acknowledgements A PhD thesis is not the product of an individual person. Numerous people and institutions are instrumental in its completion. This thesis is no different. The librarians and staff of the Bodleian Library, the Hampshire Records Office, Winchester, the John Rylands University Library, Manchester, the Lancashire County Archives, Preston, the National Library of Scotland, New College Library, Edinburgh, and the University of Birmingham Library and Archives have all provide valuable help along the way, providing advice and direction when dead ends seemed to appear. My sincere appreciation goes to Dr David Wykes and the staff of Dr Williams’s Library who graciously guided me through their vast collections and provided valuable insights. Equally hospitable was Carrise Berryhill at Abilene Christian University, who spent endless hours indulging my fascination with the Stone-Campbell Movement’s relationship to the Scotch Baptists and the British Churches of Christ. A very special word of thanks goes to Revd Emma Walsh and the staff of the Angus Library at Regent’s Park College, Oxford, for her admirable and sacrificial assistance.

Anyone studying the history of Havant United Reformed Church is quickly made aware of the debt owed to Jack Barrett who, as church archivist for many years, was responsible not only for preserving the existing records but for searching out new facts and drawing new conclusions from the material at his disposal. The Reverend Anthony Gardiner came to Havant in 1983 and brought new expertise to bear upon the subject and in 1994 he and Jack collaborated on a revised version of Havant United Reformed Church: a history that Jack had written in 1985.

  • John Angell James, of Carr's Lane, Birmingham
    JOHN ANGELL JAMES, OF CARR’S LANE, BIRMINGHAM When John Angell James was born in 1785 in the small Dorset town of Blandford, Dissenters were still no more than second-class citizens in England. University education and public office were alike closed to them. The outbreak of the French Revolution added fear to prejudice. They were hated as enemies of the English Constitution, for some of the more radical amongst them had declared their admiration of Revolution principles. The rapid increase of their numbers during this period further alarmed the clergy and sharpened the antagonism. (In 1772 there had been 380 Congregational churches while in 1822 there were nearly 800). Their close alliance with the Wigs made them a political force which was to grow formidable during the next 50 years. The Evangelical Revival had brought new life to the Dissenters as well as to the established Church. It shook them out of their pietism, and brought through their doors both converts and inquirers. It softened their high Calvinism and gave them a new missionary spirit. In 1795 Congregationalists joined with other Evangelicals to form the London Missionary Society, and they gave great support to the British and Foreign Bible Society founded in 1805. Angell James himself was to play a notable part in the rapid growth of the Congregational Churches over the next fifty years and in the advocacy of the missionary enterprise. For the work which he would have to do, nature had equipped him well. He had a warm heart, a beautiful voice and the gift of eloquence.

  • Mrs Bikbeck's Album
    1 MRS BIRKBECK’S ALBUM: THE HAND-WRITTEN AND THE PRINTED IN EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY FEMININE CULTURE Patrizia Di Bello, Birkbeck On the 25th December 1826, George Birkbeck, successful doctor, busy lecturer and founder of the London Mechanics’ Institution (now Birkbeck College),1 wrote a long letter to John Britton, antiquary and lecturer on the history of architecture at the Institution. My dear Sir, In consequence of your recommendation of Mr Behnes as an artist, I gave him at some inconvenience a great number of sittings. […] In the course of his visits Mrs Birkbeck spoke of her Album, in which he undertook to induce some of his poetical friends to write and for which purpose he took the book with him […]. Subsequently Mrs Birkbeck has wanted the book, which is of some value especially as containing some contributions from her friends, and has written to him for it without effect. I have also written and received no answer, and we have sent a messenger about half a dozen times in vain, and our only hope of recovering the book rests in your kind interference, as he probably will not run the risk of losing your friendship by such obstinate conduct.2 Mrs Birkbeck recovered her album and carried on working on it into her old age. It is now a rare example of an early-nineteenth-century album to survive intact and with a well-documented provenance.3 Recently rediscovered in the archives of Birkbeck College, and now valuable especially for an unpublished manuscript poem by Mary Shelley, the album has been described as ‘a fascinating insight

  • David Bogue and the Gosport Academy Noel Gibbard
    David Bogue and the Gosport Academy Noel Gibbard David Bogue (1750-1825),' a native of Berwickshire, moved to London in 1771, and in 1777 was ordained as a Congregational minister at Gosport, Hampshire, where he served until his death. Gosport was a port of 5,000 inhabitants, very cosmopolitan in character as the Dutch, English, Welsh, Scots and the French mingled together. For many of them it was a port of call, but a number settled down there, and Bogue must have welcomed with open arms those who came from his native country, the families of Geddes, Campbell, McLeod and McDonald.2 In 1789, after a period of twelve busy years, Bogue received the first three students to prepare for the ministry of the Word. In 1800 the academy came under the auspices of the London Missionary Society. This work of ministerial training was made possible through the kindness of George Welch,3 a wealthy London banker, with the help of two other gentlemen. Welch was concerned with the spread of the gospel and was one of the principal supporters of the 'Societas Evangelica'. In a discussion with William Jay, Welch lamented the presence of an 'unregenerate ministry' and was moved to support students under the care of three ministers in three different places, David Bogue of Gosport being one of them.4 The tutor was to be paid ten pounds a year for each student during a three year course. After Welch's death, others carried on the good work, and were anxious to enlarge the academy at Gosport.

  • Evangelical Dissenters and Wesleyan-Style Itinerant Ministries at the End of the Eighteenth ,Century
    Evangelical Dissenters and Wesleyan-Style Itinerant Ministries at the End of the Eighteenth ,Century by Roger H. Martin Itinerating as a form of Christian ministry in eighteenth and nineteenth century England is almost always associated with the Wesleyan Methodists, rarely with the Anglicans, and almost never with the Dissenters. This is not surprising. The Wesleyan circuit rider has long been lionized as the hero of the Evangelical Revival. He is usually portrayed as an impassioned and aggressive evangelist who saw the world as his parish and travelled thousands of miles on horseback to harvest a record crop of converts. In contrast, the evangelical parson or Dissenting minister is often characterized as a rather steadfast, certainly less glamorou~, individual who limited his ministry to the more parochial concerns of the parish or meeting house. His role in the Revival, therefore, is usually perceived to be less vital than that of the Wesleyans. It is true, of course, that the hallmark of Wesleyan Methodism was its high degree of physical mobility which, in an age of rapid social and demographic change, enabled its itinerant ministers to reach people in the fields and on the highways of Hanoverian England. But contrary to the stereotype mentioned above, it is not true that the other evangelical denominations-at least by the end of the eighteenth century-had remained entirely tied to a settled ministry. The purpose of this paper is to show that the itinerant thrust of the Evangelical Revival most usually associated with the Wesleyans, was never, even in the early years, entirely missing in the other evangelical denominations, especially those associated with Dissent, and that indeed, by century's end several ·NQncon­ formist itinerancy societies were founded which not only resembled, but could easily have rivalled many of Wesley's itinerant circuits.

  • Robert and James Haldane and the Quest for Evangelical Union
    Robert and James Haldane and the Quest for Evangelical Union Kenneth Brownell t their best Protestant evangelicals have always dreamed of union and worked to see it realised, but tragically it has remained an elusive dream in spite of good A intentions and hard work. Already at the Reformation the danger of fragmentation was recognised and leaders such as John Calvin sought unity among the forces of Protestantism. This unitive thrust within Protestantism has appeared in subsequent generations, especially in times of revival and renewal. In the 17th century men such as Richard Baxter, John Dury and Amos Comenius worked long and hard for the visible unity of God's people. In the wake of the revivals of the 18th century in Britain and America there was a similar desire on the part of many Protestants for evangelical union. It seems that when the central concerns of the gospel are pre­ eminent there is a hunger on the part of God's people to unite as far as possible in its interests. The purpose of this article is to explore this tension between unity and division as seen in the lives of those remarkable Scottish brothers, Robert and James Haldane. The Haldanes lived at a time of significant spiritual awakening in Protestant churches in Britain. Born in the 1760s and converted in the 1790s, the Haldanes lived and worked at a time when Protestant evangelicalism was expanding rapidly in the wake of the Great Awakening of the mid-18th century. Both brothers were actively involved in many of the evangelical enterprises that emerged in this period and characterised it.

  • Introduction
    Introduction No one knows how many Christians there are in China today, but most agree that the number is very large. Regardless of whether one accepts a “low” estimate of thirty million, or a “high” one of more than one hun- dred million, no one denies the fact that the aggregate total of crowds who throng worship services on any given Sunday morning in China exceeds that of church attendees in all of Western Europe. I say “aggregate” because one must include both Protestant and Roman Catholic, official and unof- ficial, registered and unregistered congregations, those assembling in des- ignated buildings and those gathering in private homes. Add to that the uncounted, and uncountable, Bible study groups and prayer meetings, the private conversations taking place all over the country, the proliferation of Christian study programs, institutes, journals, and conferences for scholars of Christianity, plus the thousands of web sites, blogs, and publications of both registered and unregistered churches, not to mention the amazing in- terest in, and openness towards, Christianity among both intellectuals and ordinary folk, and you have a phenomenon that not even the most sanguine supporters of ChristianitySAMPLE would have foreseen at the turn of the twentieth century. Indeed, despite almost one hundred fifty years of dedicated Protestant missionary labors, when the door to foreign missionaries “closed” as the communists consolidated power in 1950, those connected with Christian- ity of any sort amounted to no more than three million, and their number seemed to dwindle almost to zero during the “Great” Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). Outside observers opined that the Chinese church had died, as Marxist theory had dictated.
