  • “And Are WE YET Alive?”: Methodism in Great Britain, 1945-2010 Since the Days of John Wesley British Methodism Has Collec
    Methodist History, 51:1 & 2 (October 2012 & January 2013) “AND ARE WE YET ALIVE?”: METHODISM IN GREAT BRITAIN, 1945-2010 MARTIN WELLINGS Since the days of John Wesley British Methodism has collected, tabu- lated, analyzed and worried over statistics. In the nineteenth century, fig- ures for Methodist membership became a source of pride in the hands of denominational leaders like Hugh Price Hughes and of disbelief to liberal academics like Mark Pattison, Rector of Lincoln College, Oxford.1 More than a decade of unprecedented numerical decline in the years around the First World War caused alarm, perplexity and soul-searching in Wesleyan ranks.2 In the second half of the twentieth century, however, such depress- ing statistics became commonplace, and the triennial returns for 1992-95 reported not only a decline of 8.2% over three years (a drop in membership of 28,000) but an accelerating rate of loss, year on year.3 This prompted the secular media to publish stories about the “meltdown” of Methodism in Great Britain, while some scholars predicted that the Methodist Church would be extinct by 2035.4 Although reports of the death of Methodism in Great Britain have been much exaggerated, it is undeniable that the hopes associated with Methodist reunion in 1932 and with post-war reconstruction after 1945 have not been realized. The second half of the twentieth century was undoubtedly a dif- ficult time for British Methodism, prompting one researcher of the period to borrow and amend the first phrase of a Wesley hymn, to give the title “See how great a flameexpires .”5 Debate continues within the British Connexion over how best to reshape the Church for a new society, and indeed over whether Methodism has fulfilled its mission and should cease to exist, or 1 David Hempton, Methodism: Empire of the Spirit (New Haven: Yale UP, 2005), 1; compare Dorothea Price Hughes, The Life of Hugh Price Hughes (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1904), 161-162.

The cultural gap between the ancient world and our secular technological world continues to grow. From the standpoint of a Christian caught in poverty, social injustice and political oppression, commentaries on the Bible written by scholars living in an academic atmosphere of middle and upper class society often seem flat and barely relevant. They fail to deal with what Hans-Georg Gadamer calls the central problem of hermeneutics, the problem of application. While we have good reasons to seriously question the new hermeneutic of Bultmann and his successors in their use of the dialectical method and the existentialism that rejects the concept of propositional revelation, the new hermeneutic does seek to uncover the hidden and unexamined presuppositions with which all of us come to the Scriptures.

  • The Revival Movement in Uganda: an Evaluation
    18 The Africa Journal of Evangelical Theology 12.1 1993 The Revival Movement In Uganda: An Evaluation Rev. James Ndyabahika Answering critics of the East Africa Revival the author retells the story of this powerful awakening and examines the theology proclaimed by the Revival Movement in Uganda. He examines the teaching of the movement on Christ, conversion, the Spirit and the Word. He concludes that "critics need to be reminded that the revival movement is the work of God. Since Pentecost, God has been using revivals in spreading Christian renewal throughout the world. In this regard, the Revival Movement is not outmoded in our generation. " Introduction n recent years, the Revival Movement (also known as the East Africa Revival) has been attacked from many quarters. Psychologists have directed their I criticism at it saying that it employs emotional and brain-washing tactics; Liberal theologians have condemned it on the ground that its teaching is superficial and that it emphasizes partial truth; and sociologists have accused it of a social negativism. 1 Although the style of these attacks and accusations seemed harsh and biased they have helped the movement reform some of its less healthy aspects. Our purpose in this article is to explore four aspects of the Revival movement in Uganda. First we shall briefly look at the historical growth of the Revival Movement that spread through Uganda igniting the country with religious fervour. 2 Secondly we shall discuss the understanding of Jesus Christ and the cross in the revival movement. The Balokole (saved ones)3 that in order to be a Christian, one has to accept Jesus Christ as his or her personal Saviour and this cannot be achieved without a clear understanding of sin, repentance, salvation and daily victorious living.4 After repentance, they receive new life and go with new joy and fresh testimonies to tell other people about it.
