Welsh Disestablishment: 'A Blessing in Disguise'
Welsh disestablishment: ‘A blessing in disguise’. David W. Jones The history of the protracted campaign to achieve Welsh disestablishment was to be characterised by a litany of broken pledges and frustrated attempts. It was also an exemplar of the ‘democratic deficit’ which has haunted Welsh politics. As Sir Henry Lewis1 declared in 1914: ‘The demand for disestablishment is a symptom of the times. It is the democracy that asks for it, not the Nonconformists. The demand is national, not denominational’.2 The Welsh Church Act in 1914 represented the outcome of the final, desperate scramble to cross the legislative line, oozing political compromise and equivocation in its wake. Even then, it would not have taken place without the fortuitous occurrence of constitutional change created by the Parliament Act 1911. This removed the obstacle of veto by the House of Lords, but still allowed for statutory delay. Lord Rosebery, the prime minister, had warned a Liberal meeting in Cardiff in 1895 that the Welsh demand for disestablishment faced a harsh democratic reality, in that: ‘it is hard for the representatives of the other 37 millions of population which are comprised in the United Kingdom to give first and the foremost place to a measure which affects only a million and a half’.3 But in case his audience were insufficiently disheartened by his homily, he added that there was: ‘another and more permanent barrier which opposes itself to your wishes in respect to Welsh Disestablishment’, being the intransigence of the House of Lords.4 The legislative delay which the Lords could invoke meant that the Welsh Church Bill was introduced to parliament on 23 April 1912, but it was not to be enacted until 18 September 1914. -
Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume XLIII December 1982 THE MANTLE OF ELIJAH Nineteenth-century Primitive Methodism and Twentieth-century Pentecostalism [This article is based on a lecture delivered to the Lincolnshire Methodist History Society at Sleaford on IOth October 1980. Many of the references are to places and events in Lincolnshire, but the author has little reason to believe that Primitive Methodism in Lincolnshire was so unique as to render these references useless to readers in other parts of Britain.] y concern in this article (hence its title) is to pose the ques tion: Has the spirit of nineteenth-century Primitive Method Mism come to rest on twentieth-century Pentecostalism? Not that one would want to be suspected of suggesting that Primitive Methodism has been taken up by a whirlwind into heaven! But it does seem that something of the spirit of the one has been taken up by the other. I must go on to say that I am in no sense suggesting a theological comparison. In some ways the two movements seem quite close in their theological bases, but that is not the point of the comparison I wish to make. Clearly their particular beliefs about the Holy Spirit lead Pentecostalists to assess the Spirit's gifts differ ently, giving them a dominant concern to seek and give evidence of the more spectacular gifts, notably that of speaking in tongues. This emphasis is quite different from that of Primitive Methodism although I should be very interested to know whether Pentecostal type manifestations accompanied early Primitive Methodism. -

Flat Church History 2016
ST. JAMES CHURCH HOPE THE STORY OF THE ORIGINS AND PROGRESS OF THE PARISH CHURCH FROM 1861 TO 2016 Compiled by Fred Lloyd Page Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: There is not much documentary evidence available to make it easy to trace the story of the Parish Church. Because of this I am very thankful that the late Norman Rimmer, a former Churchwarden, took the time and trouble to pen a number of articles on the subject for the Parish Magazine. I have been able to use a lot of the information that he pro- vided. Thanks also to David Russell for the loan of his excellent book “I was Glad - A History of the Choir and Music of St. James Church, Hope, Salford”. It is a comprehensive book which contains much more mate- rial than I could use here. Well worth dipping into if you are interested in this aspect of things. I am grateful for the great amount of help I received from the staff at the Salford Local History Library in my searches for photographs, maps etc. My thanks are also due to the Dean and staff at Brisbane Ca- thedral for providing a wealth of information about one of our early incumbents. David Sharples, ninth Vicar of Hope, provided me with the fine photo- graph of the original parsonage and some very useful pieces of paper for which I am also grateful. Thanks also to all those people with whom I have chatted and who have been able to point me in the right direction. Also to the Secretar- ies of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) over the years for the su- perb minutes that I have had the opportunity to trawl through. -
Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament. -

Introduction
INTRODUCTION Sir John Salusbury Salusbury-Trelawny, the ninth baronet (1816— 85), kept a diary for the period April 1857 to July 1865, when he was the member of parliament for the Devonshire borough of Tavistock. The first volume of the diary is unfortunately now missing, but seven volumes remain, commencing early in the session of 1858.1 They present us with a detailed account of the day-to-day activities of a radical Liberal M.P. endeavouring to promote a number of measures, notably a bill for the abolition of church rates, as well as telling us of Trelawny's opinions on a wide range of other issues, both domestic and foreign. The diaries are of particular interest as a record of the impressions of a back-bencher during the period of political confusion between the fall of Palmerston's first ministry, in February 1858, and the reconciliation of the various sections of the Liberal party at the famous Willis's rooms meeting in June 1859, and they go on to illustrate the predicament of radical Liberals during the period of Palmerston's second ministry. Equally, however, Trelawny's accounts are of value for the way they add flesh to the dry bones of Hansard's Parliamentary Debates (which often, it has to be said, provide a far from complete skeleton in any case), evoking the atmosphere of the House of Commons, and throwing light on the character and mannerisms of its members, including such leading figures as Palmerston, Gladstone and Disraeli. If the diaries have a limitation, it is that they are almost entirely concerned with proceedings in parliament: more specifically still, it is the chamber and lobbies of the House of Commons which provide the venue for most of what Trelawny chose to record. -

Methodist History, 53:1 (October 2014) RENEWAL, REUNION, AND REVIVAL: THREE BRITISH METHODIST APPROACHES TO “SERVING THE PRESENT AGE” IN THE 1950S MARTIN WELLINGS In the late 1950s, the British Methodist minister with the highest public profile was undoubtedly the Rev. Dr. Donald Soper. Born into a patrician Wesleyan family in 1903 and blessed with a rare blend of artistic and intel- lectual gifts, Soper proceeded from Saint Catherine’s College, Cambridge, and Wesley House with a First in theology to a series of appointments in the London Mission. In 1936, after ten years in the ministry, and just seven years after ordination, Soper moved to Kingsway Hall as Superintendent Minister of Hugh Price Hughes’ West London Mission, where he remained for the next forty-two years, retiring officially in 1978.1 As a compelling orator, a committed evangelist, an exponent of Wesleyan sacramentalism, and a left-of-center political activist, Soper bears compari- son with Hughes and with J. Ernest Rattenbury. It may be argued, however, that he surpassed his famous predecessors in attaining public prominence and in attracting controversy. Agility of mind, facility of speech, and a flair for repartee, honed by weekly open-air debates on Tower Hill, suited the de- veloping media of radio and television, and made Soper eminently quotable in the press. His combination of modernist theology, high sacramentalism, and Socialist politics, expressed with insouciant wit and unapologetic élan, thrilled audiences, delighted admirers, and reduced opponents to apoplectic fury. Rattenbury’s leadership of the Methodist Sacramental Fellowship may have cost him the Presidency of the Methodist Conference; Soper followed Rattenbury as MSF president in 1950, but was also elected Conference President by the Conference of 1952.
