An Ardour of Devotion: the Spiritual Legacy of Henry Martyn Legacy Of
An Ardour of Devotion: The Spiritual Legacy of Henry Martyn by Brian Stanley Amidst all the discords which agitate the Church of England, her sons are unanimous in extolling the name of Henry Martyn. And with reason; for it is in fact the one heroic name which adorns her annals from the days of Elizabeth to our own. Her apostolic men, the Wesleys and Elliotts [ sic ] and Brainerds of other times, either quitted, or were cast out of her communion. Her Acta Sanctorum may be read from end to end with a dry eye and an unquickened pulse. Henry Martyn, the learned and the holy, translating the Scriptures in his solitary bungalow at Dinapore, or preaching to a congregation of five hundred beggars, or refuting the Mahommedan doctors at Shiraz, is the bright exception.[1] That sweeping verdict was delivered in 1844, at the height of the ecclesiastical tumult created by the Oxford Movement, by James Stephen, Under-Secretary of State at the Colonial Office, later Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge, and one of the most notable sons of the Clapham Sect. In Stephen's reckoning, heroism had been in decidedly short supply in the Church of England, but Henry Martyn had single- handedly made up much of the deficit through an exemplary spiritual ardour which was admired by Tractarian and evangelical alike. In three places in this famous essay on the Clapham Sect, Stephen applies the word 'ardour' to Martyn: at Shiraz in Persia he is said to have laboured for twelve months 'with the ardour of a man, who, distinctly perceiving -

He kept a diary for most of his adult life and filled various journals with his religious thoughts. Faced with a difficult decision he would set down both sides of the argument on paper. He wrote memoranda on different subjects, the most famous being his unfinished sketch of Pitt - but the sheer volume of his correspondence alone would have buried most men. He often wrote and received as many as twenty letters a day, and few of them were short. In addition to his own papers, two of his sons kept notes of his conversations in their commonplace books. Here, in Wilberforce: Slavery, Religion and Politics, Series One, Parts 1-3, we are able to make available a complete microfilm edition of the Wilberforce Papers from the Bodleian Library, Oxford. This project unites the separate collections of William Wilberforce’s sons, Robert and Samuel, enabling us to piece back together the Papers of William, Robert and Samuel. -

The funds to purchase and to build (and then to pay its first principal William Hart Coleridge and his assistant tutors) had been raised by a group of enthusiasts with shared intentions. First, to have a central training college for the Church of England, where young men (aged 18 plus) would be trained in oriental languages and culture as well as Christian faith and practice before they were sent out as missionaries to India, Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Americas. Secondly, to have a showcase for their own vision of the Anglican church: a branch of the Catholic church, bearing witness to a long history stretching back to those first missionaries who came from Rome with their leader S Augustine to Kent in 597 AD. They were making a statement about the continuity of the Anglican church. It was founded 1,250 years ago, it was reformed but not broken at the Protestant Reformation, and now they were proud to be standing again on the spot where Augustine and his monks had begun their missionary work in ancient England.
