VICTORIA INSTITUTE REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR 1951 READ AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, MAY 26TH, 1952. I. Progress of the Institute. The CoWlcil presents to the Fellows, Members, and Associates the Eighty-fifth Annual Report, together with a Balance Sheet and Statement of Income and Expenditure, and renders thanks to God for the continuation of the work of the Institute. There has been some reduction in membership during the year. This may be attributed to two causes. Firstly, the increase of the annual subscription of Fellows and Members led to a number of resignations on financial groW1ds. Secondly, a scrutiny of the lists showed that a number of Fellows and Members were in arrears with subscriptions. Reminders were sent out to all defaulting sub­ scribers, and the names of Fellows and Members who failed to make good the arrears were removed from the list. Owing to notice of termination of lease by the National Club, the CoW1cil was obliged to find new premises for the Offices of the Institute. A three years' lease has been taken of office accom­ modation at 21, Lower Belgrave Street, Westminster. A change of Assistant Secretary has taken place since the last Meeting. Mr. T. Wilson, who served the CoW1cil faithfully for several years, has been replaced by Mrs. Owen, who is proving herself efficient and capable. The Council is seriously concerned about the financial position of the Institute. The greatly increased cost of printing, and the increase in rent, are proving a great strain on our resources. A further difficulty has been that the printing of Transactions has fallen into arrear, with the result that two volumes had to be printed in pne year in order to bring the issue of the Transactions up to date. The result of these necessary increases in payments has been a considerable excess of expenditure over income. This state of affairs obviously cannot continue indefinitely. The CoW1cil is seeking to devise means by which expenditure may be reduced, but it is felt that the best solution to the problem would be an increase in membership. Fellows and Members are urged to co-operate by making the work of the Institute more widely known, and by introducing new members. ·vm Also, it would reduce office work, and greatly help if subscriptions were sent in more promptly at the commencement of each year. The Council wishes to express tha.nks to all those who contributed papers during the past session, and to those who contributed to the discussions. Suggestions of Authors and of subjects for papers will be welcomed. The Council also asks for the prayers of the Fellows and Members or the successful continuation of the work of the Institute, and that guidance may be given to the members of the Council in all decisions made by them in the future. 2. Meetings. Seven Ordinary Meetings were held during the year, in addition to the Annual General Meeting and Annual Address. The papers published were :- " Progressive Revelation," by Rev. Principal H.

  • REINCARNATION- Did the Church Suppress It?
    REINCARNATION- Did The Church Suppress It? by Joseph P. Gudel, Robert M. Bowman, Jr., and Dan R. Schlesinger Toward the beginning of this century belief in reincarnation was restricted to such small groups as the Unity School of Christianity, the Theosophical Society, and Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment. (1) By the 1980s, however, not only had these groups gained well over a million followers, but celebrities such as Jeanne Dixon and Shirley MacLaine had popularized reincarnation for the masses. While fifty years ago relatively few Americans believed in reincarnation, today roughly one-fourth of all Americans accepts it, along with about one-half of the world population. (2) Virtually all modern proponents of reincarnation in the West claim that it "is in complete harmony with the true spirit of Christianity." The early church taught reincarnation, some say, until the sixth century when it was suppressed at a church council. In this article we will examine this claim that the church suppressed the doctrine of reincarnation. REINCARNATION DEFINED The doctrine of reincarnation derives from antiquity, originating in the East, but also found in ancient Greece. It "teaches that the soul enters this life, not as a fresh creation, but after a long course of previous existences on this earth and elsewhere . and that it is on its way to future transformations which it is now shaping for itself." (3) According to the Eastern concept of reincarnation, man depending on his deeds in his previous existence can come back in any type of life form, including various animals, as well as human form.

  • I. Background and Early Influences
    I. Background and Early Influences ‘our relation to God was a matter of the first importance’ On Monday morning, August 18, 1958, the Daily Mirror printed a picture of a packed queue of people, which stretched from a building on Holborn Viaduct, London, past the ancient parish church of St. Andrews, then rounded the corner and continued for several hundred yards along Shoe Lane. The picture was captioned with a question: ‘Can you guess what these people are queuing for?’ The answer, which the Mirror obviously regarded as extraordinary, was that they were waiting to attend the opening service of a newly re-built church, the City Temple, and especially to hear the church’s distinguished minister, Dr. Leslie Dixon Weatherhead. Unusual though this scene was in the late 1950s, such queues had been normal on Sundays on the Viaduct in the years before the church was destroyed by bombs in 1941. They became a regular sight once again when the church returned to its original home, and they continued to appear whenever Weatherhead preached, even well after he had retired, and long after the days of people flocking to listen to famous preachers were held to be over. The exceptional interest in this event (which attracted the attention not only of the national press in Britain but of newspapers in several other countries as well) is an indication of the remarkable international reputation that Leslie Weatherhead had acquired, and the influence of his ministry. From the mid- 1920s to well into the 1960s, he became established as the best known and most widely popular English preacher.

  • Indian Journal of Theology 12.4
    Book Reviews What is a Christian?: by A. Leonard Griffith. Lutterworth Press. Price 16s. This book of sermons is by the pFesent minister. of the City Temple in London (successor to Dr.. Leslie Weatherhead who writes a warm commendatory foreword to the book) and it is true to the high standard one would expect from his pulpit. lt is u_sual in a book of sermons to be very aware of the loss of emphasis almost inevitable when the spoken word, so involved . with the personality of the preacher, is set down in print. Here, however, we find that these sermons lose little if anything from the transformation, and indeed read almost as if they had been prepared as lucid little essays. With these sermons, I almost have the feeling (which the sermons of John Wesley always produce) that they are so concise and ' literary ' in form, that the preacher can hardly have delivered them just as they now stand, but must have filled them out with more -of a personal spoken style. The subject of the first sermon is the title of the book, but in fact this describes all of the 21 chapters, each of which deals with a particular aspect of Christian Living ; and they are attempts, not so :rpuch to present apologies for the Faith, as to give practi- . cal and immediate help. The sermons on 'All the fulness of Christ ' ; ' Our helper in the Christian life ' (on tOe work of the Holy Spirit) ; ' A· plea for simpler living • ; ' A gospel for the middle-aged • ; and ' The guided life ' are outstanding and, as the titles indicate, will be of very real and concrete help to Christians in particular times of difficulty.

  • CHRISTIAN REINCARNATION? by Revd Donald Macgregor
    CHRISTIAN REINCARNATION? by Revd Donald MacGregor Discussion Paper No 3 CHRISTIANS AWAKENING to a NEW AWARENESS (CANA) CHRISTIAN REINCARNATION? By the Revd Donald MacGregor This is a CANA Publication 2 The influence of Eastern religions and past life experiences has placed the issue of reincarnation firmly into the mindset of many free thinkers in the West today. Evidence of child geniuses, the sense of déjà vu, hypnotic regression and past-life recall are all quoted in support. It is increasingly common for people in Western Europe to embrace reincarnation as a way of making sense of life. As an inter-faith issue, if reincarnation is seen as a totally false un- derstanding of the way things work spiritually, it is very hard for traditional Christian theology to engage with, for example, Hindu- ism as another route to God. Difficult Questions Within mainstream Christianity, many find themselves faced with difficult questions about heaven, hell and salvation that could be helped by a belief in reincarnation. The traditional view is that at the end of life we will be judged to be fit to spend eternity in either heaven, heaven preceded by purgatory, or hell. The Reformers ex- cluded purgatory, which makes the division even more stark. What- ever we understand by heaven and hell, this doctrine leaves many questions hanging. How could a merciful God give his people only one opportunity to get to heaven? Is it not inconsistent for an all- loving God to consign living beings to hell after only one chance to redeem themselves? Loving parents will give their wayward off- spring as many opportunities as possible to come back to them.

  • Christianity and New Age Thought (First Published November 1996) Was Delivered As a Lecture at Westminster College, Oxford, in December 1991
    CHRISTIANITY AND NEW AGE THOUGHT REVD PROFESSOR FRANK WHALING In a short article it is necessary right at the start to state the obvious: that there are many varieties of ‘Christianity’ and many varieties of ‘New Age Thought’. In talking about the Christian tradition, it is possible to think in terms of denomination: Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant, and the sub-varieties within each. It is possible to think in terms of theological approach: catholic, liberal, conservative, evangelical. It is possible to think in terms of spirituality: humane, social gospel, liberation, evangelical, contemplative, ecological. It is possible to think in terms of strands within western Christianity: post-Vatican II, post- Bultmann, process theology, liberation theology, existential theology, feminine theology, black theology, situational ethics, new biblical approaches, liturgical renewal, and so on. And it is possible to think in terms of the increasingly important elements within Third World Christian theology: Gandhian insights, Kitamori’s theology of the pain of God, Koyama’s water-buffalo theology, Latin American liberation insights, Indian Christian concerns for interior spirituality, African Christian concerns for the validity of dreams, visions and healing, Korean Christian emphases upon emotion, and Chinese Christian insights into fellowship, unity, and the inter-dependence of Heaven, humans and the earth. 1 And so we could go on. In the case of New Age thought, the problem of pinning down what it represents is even more difficult, as this paper will show. Rather than concentrating on definitions, or a wide range of scattered issues, the purpose of this paper is to give some insight into the general phenomenon that is sometimes called “New Age religion”, to build bridges between New Age thought and Christianity, and to indicate also some areas wherein Christians would be wise to exercise caution in relation to New Age thought.
