  • Chapter 4: BISHOP ROBERT GRAY – an ASSESSMENT
    A clash of churchmanship? Robert Gray and the Evangelical Anglicans 1847 – 1872 Alan Peter Beckman Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Church and Dogma History) at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University. Supervisor: Dr J Newby Co-supervisor: Dr P H Fick May 2011. 2 ABSTRACT This study investigates the initial causes of Anglican division in South Africa in order to assess whether the three Evangelical parishes in the Cape Peninsula were justified in declining to join the Church of the Province of South Africa when it was formally constituted as a voluntary association in January 1870. The research covered the following: Background to the period in England and at the Cape, based on the histories pertinent to the period; An assessment of the differences in churchmanship between the Evangelicals and the Anglo-Catholics, through study of the applicable literature; A critical assessment of the character, churchmanship, aims, and actions of the first bishop of Cape Town, Robert Gray, drawn from the two-volume biography of his life, his journals and documents obtained in the archives; An analysis of the disputes between Bishop Gray and two Evangelical clergymen, analyzed from the published correspondence and archive material. The conclusion of the study is that the differences in churchmanship between the Evangelicals and the Anglo Catholics were very substantial and when coupled with the character, aims and actions of Bishop Gray, left the Evangelicals with little option but to decline the invitation to join his voluntary association. KEY WORDS Anglican Evangelical Anglo-Catholic Tractarian Churchmanship 3 UITREKSEL In hierdie studie word die aanvanklike oorsake van Anglikaanse verdeeldheid in Suid-Afrika ondersoek ten einde te bepaal of die drie Evangeliese gemeentes in die Kaapse Skiereiland geregverdig was om nie aan te sluit by die Church of the Province of South Africa nie toe dit formeel gekonstitueer was as 'n vrywillige vereniging in Januarie 1870.

  • The Beginnings of Anglican Theological Education in South Africa, 1848–1963
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 63, No. 3, July 2012. f Cambridge University Press 2012 516 doi:10.1017/S0022046910002988 The Beginnings of Anglican Theological Education in South Africa, 1848–1963 by PHILIPPE DENIS University of KwaZulu-Natal E-mail: [email protected] Various attempts at establishing Anglican theological education were made after the arrival in 1848 of Robert Gray, the first bishop of Cape Town, but it was not until 1876 that the first theological school opened in Bloemfontein. As late as 1883 half of the Anglican priests in South Africa had never attended a theological college. The system of theological education which developed afterwards became increasingly segregated. It also became more centralised, in a different manner for each race. A central theological college for white ordinands was established in Grahamstown in 1898 while seven diocesan theological colleges were opened for blacks during the same period. These were reduced to two in the 1930s, St Peter’s College in Johannesburg and St Bede’s in Umtata. The former became one of the constituent colleges of the Federal Theological Seminary in Alice, Eastern Cape, in 1963. n 1963 the Federal Theological Seminary of Southern Africa, an ecumenical seminary jointly established by the Anglican, Methodist, I Presbyterian and Congregational churches, opened in Alice, Eastern Cape. A thorn in the flesh of the apartheid regime, Fedsem, as the seminary was commonly called, trained theological students of all races, even whites at a later stage of its history, in an atmosphere

  • The Spirituality of Andrew Murray Jr. (1828-1917). a Theological-Critical Assessment
    THE SPIRITUALITY OF ANDREW MURRAY JR. (1828-1917). A THEOLOGICAL-CRITICAL ASSESSMENT HEE-YOUNG LEE THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (THEOLOGY) PROMOTER: PROF. DR. R.M. BRITZ DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIOLOGY FACULTY OF THEOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE NOVEMBER 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Hallelujah! Now this study is complete. A lot of time and effort was put into the work before it could be finished. Prayer, kindness, intellectual supervision and all kinds of support from my family, teachers, pastors, and colleagues are an integral part of this thesis. Without any one of them, this thesis could not have been produced. To begin with I want to give many thanks to God who led me to do this work and to finish it on time. Although there were various difficulties during the study, I was able to overcome those difficulties and to proceed with my studies by the grace of God. I confess that this work is nothing but a result of His lavish grace upon an unworthy sinner. I am deeply grateful to my supervisor, Professor Dr. Rudolph M. Britz who has sincerely and patiently promoted me up to now. His kind, intellectual and detailed supervision, which can be summarised as many hours of patient guidance, editorial scrutiny, and caring encouragement from beginning to end, went beyond what was simply required and provided the best form of guidance in my efforts. His precious advice; “Do not study ideologically. Let primary sources tell and let them guide your study!” was to be a valuable motto, especially considering my goal of being a church- historian.

  • Anglican Women Missionaries and Ecclesiastical Politics in 20Th-Century South Africa
    “A spirit of comradeship in work”? Anglican women missionaries and ecclesiastical politics in 20th-century South Africa Deborah Gaitskell School of Oriental and African Studies, London University, London, United Kingdom Abstract In the first half of the twentieth century, between one and two hundred British women at any one time were serving among South Africa’s black population as paid Anglican missionaries. From 1913, they joined together in a Society of Women Missionaries, holding regular conferences until 1955 and producing an informative journal. These missionaries, often lifelong church employees and occasionally deaconesses, were the first women whom the church hierarchy accommodated as actual lay representatives in its previously all-male preserves of mission consultation and governance, 50 years before women could be elected to Provincial Synod. The SWM Journal’s coverage of its dealings with the Provincial Missionary Conference and Board of Missions encompasses struggles over female inclusion, the inspiration derived from involvement, and key issues raised – especially evangelistic training for women and the hope of comradeship with men in shared missionary work. This period of white female mission leader- ship and modest official recognition merits greater acknow- ledgement in the history of both Anglican church government in South Africa and the development of female ministry, inclu- ding ordination to the priesthood. Introduction: Mission, church representation and women’s ministry Miss J Batcham, a British woman missionary at work in South Africa at the end of the 1930s, voiced great hopes for projected parallel male and female Anglican cultural investigations into African adolescent rites of passage: One of the immediate results of the discussion on Father Amor’s paper is a Resolution asking the S.W.M to form a Committee, and present a report to the next P.M.C.

  • Exculpation of Colenso Both from a Theological Point of View but Also Because of the Situation in the Anglican Communion at This Particular Moment
    Some comments on the possible “exculpation” of Bishop Colenso from Various sources. By D Pratt Bishop John William Colenso (1814-1883) was the first Anglican Bishop of Natal. A graduate of St. John's College, Cambridge and a Broad Churchman, he was appointed to the newly created diocese of Natal in 1853, as both bishop to the colonists and missionary bishop to the Zulu. Applying his Broad Church principles to the missionary context, he increasingly questioned conventional and theologically conservative missionary teaching and preaching, culminating in the publication, in 1861, of his study of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans: newly translated and explained from a missionary point of view, in which he rejected the doctrines of both substitutionary atonement and everlasting punishment. The following year he also published the first part of his study of The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Examined, in which he challenged the historicity of the biblical narrative and applied historical critical methods to the text of the Pentateuch. Accused of heresy by his fellow bishops in Southern Africa, excommunicated by the Bishop of Cape Town, and also rejected by the overwhelming majority of the bishops of the Church of England, Colenso nevertheless established his legal right to remain Bishop of Natal. He continued as Bishop of Natal - despite the presence of a second and rival Bishop - until his death in 1883. His study of The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Examined eventually ran to seven large volumes, the last of which was published in 1879. In his later years he also took up the cause of the Zulu, arguing that they had been betrayed and mistreated by the British and colonial authorities.
