ABSTRACT: Japan ruled Korea as a colony from 1910 to 1945. During this turbulent period, many Western Protestant missionaries entered Korea and began missionary work. The academic world argues that Koreans came to serve two kinds of foreign masters who entered the Korean Peninsula: Japanese imperialist invaders and Western Protestant missionaries. These missionaries divided each region of Korea and carried out missionary work to pass on their beliefs to the Koreans. Japan's colonial rule over Korea and the missionaries' religious ministry are often understood and interpreted through a framework of “cultural imperialism” of “domination and obedience,” although their ideologies and purposes were different.

We offer this Report in the conviction that although this goal may presently seem to be far from being achieved, it is nevertheless one towards which God the Holy Spirit is insistently beckoning us. Those who have served on the Commission at every stage since its inception in 1966, and since our own Co-Chairmanship began in 1980, have been aware that this is the case, although we may sometimes have been tempted to think otherwise.

  • Bishop Cuthbert Bardsley
    Bishop Cuthbert Bardsley Cuthbert was a mighty man. He was charismatic, he was powerful and he was the ideal Bishop to lead the Diocese in the 50,/60s and 70s. He came form an evangelical background, but he also practised the sacrament of penance which meant that he had the catholic wing on board right from the beginning. They were heady days indeed. If you wanted to learn about the holy Spirit, there was no need to buy a theological text book because all you had to do was to stand in the presence of Cuthbert. He absolutely exuded the Holy Spirit in all its various manifestations. His height must have been close on 6ft 6inches and he towered above everyone else. Most people thought it was great that he got himself married before he retired. The rumour was that Miss Michell might have taken on more than she could chew, but it was a loving relationship and I reckon that marriage was just what Cuthbert needed. They were married by Bishop Daly in the cathedral and I had the job of ferrying BJ there, but nothing was said and I only found out when I picked up BJ later I remember when I was away from theological college and working with Bishop John Daly, the old boy reckoned it was high time that I returned to my studies despite the fact that I had failed the exams and also the essays. He told me that he had written to Bishop Cuthbert, who was an old friend to see what could be done.

  • The Continuum and Its Problems 1
    The Continuum and Its Problems 1 THE CONTINUUM AND ITS PROBLEMS A Paper Delivered By Wallace Spaulding To The Fellowship of Concerned Churchmen September 2009 I. Introduction There were three major traditionalist/conservative reactions to the 1976 General Convention of The Episcopal Church (TEC)* in Minneapolis, or, more specifically, to its approval of women priests and bishops and of the first reading of a new Prayer Book (a more radical break with its predecessors than in past such cases). The first was to go to Rome, the second was to stay within TEC and fight these new innovations from there, and the third was to leave and form a new and more orthodox “continuing” body. These three approaches are still being used and thus are relevant today. Those of the Roman orientation had produced a Pro-Diocese of St. Augustine of Canterbury by 1978, which was a non-starter. But they found some welcome via the Roman Church’s 1980 Pastoral Provision, under which they founded six “Anglican Use” Roman Catholic parishes by 1983; there are nine now. The “stay within” crowd was found in the Evangelical Catholic Mission (ECM), which then became the Episcopal Synod of America (ESA), and then the (present-day) Forward in Faith, North America (FIF-NA). They continue to work within TEC but now more and more in the new Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), formed in 2008-09 in opposition to the homosexual agenda but still tolerating women priests (but not bishops) and the 1979 Prayer Book. Most of those leaving as a body following the ‘76 convention did so after a September 1977 Congress in St.

  • Chapter 2 Background of the “Continuing Church” Movement
    Badertscher; The Measure of a Bishop Chapter 2 Background of the “Continuing Church” Movement If one had to choose the watershed event for the Episcopal Church in the 1970s, it would probably have to be the 1977 “Congress of Concerned Churchmen,” for it was then that the traditionalists began leaving the Church in droves. Yet though the previous dissents had not hurt the Church as much numerically, they nevertheless represent important prologues to the story, for the issues which began bubbling up in the 1960s came to a full boil in the 1970s at the Congress of St. Louis. The tale stretches back even earlier, to two separate incidents the late 19th century. The dispute in the Episcopal Church between Anglo-Catholic and Evangelical led Evangelical Bishop George David Cummins, the assistant bishop of Kentucky, to resign in 1873 and form the Reformed Episcopal Church. A few years previously, the Old Catholic movement had begun in Europe, as traditionalists separated from Rome over dogmas promulgated at the First Vatican Council. Continuing Churchmen of the 20th century would in some cases take their orders from Old Catholic denominations. The third incident happened in 1921, when the Reverend George Alexander McGuire organized dissident black Episcopalians into the African Orthodox Church. Several breaks took place in the 1960s, at least two of the them in the Southern States. In 1962, the Southern Episcopal Church was founded in Nashville, Tennessee by the Reverend Burnice H. Webster. The Anglican Orthodox Church was founded in 1963 by the staunchly conservative Reverend James Parker Dees of North Carolina, who renounced the liberalism of the Episcopal Church.
