The war was seen as an opportunity to revitalize it and return it to its role of prominence in society. In comparison to other areas of study, the role of the Church of England during this time period is inadequately examined.

The series is sponsored by the Essentials movement, which seeks all-round renewal of life and strength in the Anglican Church, and its writers are Anglican Church personnel speaking out of their loyalty to the Church and their acute sense of its present needs. It is hoped that the series will spark deep personal reflection and group discussion within and between parishes, so that we all may be better prepared for the dif- ficult and demanding era into which, as it seems, our Church is now entering.

  • The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion
    The Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion Message from the President THE MOST REV. H. R. GOUGH, O.B.E., D.D. Archbishop of Sydney and Primate of Australia S first President of the Evangelical Fellowship In the Anglican A Communion, I am pleased to have this opportunity of commending the work and alms of this newly formed Fellowship. I am convinced that it has an important contribution to make to the living witness of the Anglican Communion, especially as I believe that true Evangelicalism is Anglicanism In its purest form. The hospitality offered within the covers of so Influential and respected a theological journal as The Churchman has been readily accepted, for history shows clearly enough that to be vigorous and progressive the life and witness of the Church must be closely allied to theology that is firmly founded on Holy Scripture and also relevant to the contemporary situation. My prayer is that God will bless and prosper the Evangelical Fellow­ ship In the Anglican Communion In our world, desperately In need as it is of that Good News which Is the mainspring of the Fellowship's existence. HUGH SYDNEY. INTRODUCING E.F.A.C. VANGELICALS have a name for being individualists. The E reputation is not altogether undeserved. It is a sad fact that groups of evangelical Anglicans have existed for some years in different countries without being in fruitful contact, let alone living fellowship, with each other, while in other parts of the world there are evangelicals without any organization to draw them together. But today evangelicals cannot afford the luxury of isolation.

  • Mission and Evangelism Department – Report For
    Holistic Mission A Profile of Mission and Evangelism in the Anglican Communion Foreword Prior to her retirement in 2006, Marjorie Murphy, Director of Mission and Evangelism in the Anglican Communion, initiated a consultation among Primates and members of the Standing Commission on Mission and Evangelism (IASCOME) as to the current state and future direction of Mission in the Communion. The clear message we received was that a survey of Mission and Evangelism in the Anglican Communion should be undertaken, and its findings presented to the Bishops at the Lambeth Conference. Part of the discussion there should include ways in which mission should be resourced from this Office. This report is the fruit of that work undertaken by Revd John Kafwanka (Zambia), who was until recently CMS Southern Africa Regional Manager, and his research assistant Stuart Buchanan. A survey questionnaire was prepared, and was first given to all the Primates who attended the Primates’ Meeting in Dar e Salaam (Tanzania) in February 2007. The same questionnaire was sent to all the Provincial Secretaries of the Communion, and several interviews were also carried out with bishops and Christians in the Communion. It emphasised the department of Mission & Evangelism’s holistic understanding of mission, and called for responses that expressed or reflected how the concerned provinces, dioceses and organisation were living out God’s (holistic) mission. The survey has highlighted the holistic nature of the Anglican Communion’s understanding of mission as reflected in the Five Marks of Mission. The survey report has creatively analysed the responses in the context of these Five Marks.

  • What Happened to Methodism in Canada During the First World War
    What Happened to Methodism in Canada during the First World War DAVID B. MARSHALL University of Calgary Near the beginning of the First World War, the Rev. S.D. Chown, Superintendent of the Methodist Church, declared that “khaki has become a sacred colour” and, by war’s end, he had concluded in a repentant fashion that the Methodist Church could never again be caught “painting roses on the lid of hell.”1 Suggesting a much broader and deeper process of disillusionment, Chown also suggested that in “many minds the war shook with the violence of a moral and intellectual earthquake the foundations of Christian faith. It shattered many structures of belief which devout people found refuge from the storms of life . In deep perplexity, many silently drifted into a sheer atheism which denied the very existence of the Almighty.”2 In my recent chapter on the Methodist Church and World War I in Gordon Heath’s edited volume Canadian Churches and the First World War, I suggested that Chown’s typically dramatic rhetoric, although certainly capturing some realities of the Methodist experience, may have been too sweeping in its declaration of disillusionment.3 This narrative of militant idealism followed by ever deepening disillusionment – although certainly valid – masks a great deal of the complexity of the Methodist experience during World War I.4 It may have overlooked a far more complex and nuanced picture of the war’s impact. Within Method- ism, there was a range of experiences and perspectives and, in many cases, religious beliefs and practices that changed or were fluid depending on the particular circumstances being faced in the chaos of the war.
