The growth of evangelicalism in the Church of Scotland, 1793-1843
No full textThis thesis examines Evangelicalism as a broadly-based intellectual
and social movement which sought to shape the overall thought and life of
the Church of Scotland during the first half of the nineteenth century. A
set of distinctive organisations --religious periodicals, voluntary
societies, education, and corporate prayer-- provided its institutional
structure. They represented the practical response to a general concern
for revitalising the Church, for evangelism, and for social morality.
'Evangelicals' are defined as those who combined participation in these
institutions with a fundamental commitment to the Church of Scotland as an
established, national church.
The development of each of these institutions is explored as a means
of tracing the growth of the movement as a whole. Religious periodicals
helped to unite scattered individuals within the Established Church who
shared a desire to spread experiential Christianity. By providing a forum
for discussing issues related to this concern, these publications communicated
Evangelical ideas throughout the Kirk, giving Evangelicals far
greater influence than their relative lack of power in the ecclesiastical
courts around the turn of the century suggested they would have.
Religious voluntary societies enabled Evangelicals to translate their
ideas into action on a wide range of issues. The seeming effectiveness of
groups such as missionary and Bible societies made Evangelicalism
increasingly attractive, and led to the incorporation of their activist
approach into existing Kirk structures after the mid-1820s. However,
Evangelicals struggled with the tensions between the gathered and territorial
views of the Church inherent in their commitments both to
societies and to the Establishment.
Because Evangelicals, following the Scottish Reformers, believed that
education encouraged biblically-based Christianity, they were actively
involved in all levels of education, from Sabbath schools to the universities,
helping to spread Evangelical ideas and practice among young
people. Evangelicals' emphasis upon corporate prayer not only reflected
their belief that they needed divine aid to achieve their aims, but built
up social bonds at a local level and reinforced commitment to the other

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones 1899-1981 and twentieth-century evangelicalism.
No full textThe purpose of this thesis was to demonstrate the significance of the life and ministry of David Martyn Lloyd-Jones in post-war British evangelicalism and to show that, so far as Protestant churches in England and Wales were concerned, no history of the period can afford to ignore him. It is our contention that despite differences of opinion and self- marginalization Lloyd-Jones was and has remained a major force in evangelical thinking. In order to understand how this developed the thesis has been structured along thematic lines highlighting events, persons and questions. The study begins by setting the stage with a biographical chapter and goes on to examine the kind of impact that Lloyd-Jones's preaching had on Christians of all denominations. He believed preaching to be the greatest need of the day and the position of this thesis is that preaching was Lloyd-Jones's greatest contribution to twentieth- century Christianity. As a preacher he attracted one of London's largest congregations and in chapter three we look at the history and nature of Westminster Chapel comparing it with neighbouring ministries, and establishing the kind of people who went to hear him. Chapters four and five ascertain the factors which shaped Lloyd-Jones's views on the church and show how his Reformed evangelicalism led in a separatist as opposed to an ecumenical direction and finally, to a position which was neither Congregational nor Presbyterian. Our further argument is that while he favoured unity among believers his separatist ecclesiology only exacerbated the situation and left evangelicals more divided than before. Chapters six to eight evaluate Lloyd-Jones's background, the nature of his leadership and the extent of his influence - factors which either shaped or were the outcome of his ministry - and looks at the issues which these questions raise

The role of music and musicians in current English parish church worship : the attitudes of clergy and organists.
No full textOne of the many issues currently confronting the Church of England
is the role of music in worship. It is not a new debate, but has been
brought into sharper focus in recent years in the wake of liturgical
change.
After examining the fundamental issues of the debate, the author
considers them in the context of the present day. Other current
matters of concern will also be discussed. The effects of liturgical
change are then considered.
The discussion is then widened to include:
- a review of current hymnals and psalters;
- a survey of the courses and qualifications in church music
available in Great Britain;
- three case studies demonstrating the problems that can arise
when clergy and church musicians are in conflict;
- a review of surveys in church music undertaken since 1950.
The main work comprises a detailed survey by questionnaire to the
priest-in-charge and organist at almost half the churches in a large
diocese (that of Oxford). This yields an overall picture of:
- respondents' personal backgrounds and general attitudes;
- respondents' perceptions, both objective and subjective, of the
situation at their church, and of each other.
From these varied strands are drawn certain conclusions for
improving clergy-organist relationships, and suggestions for further
research in the subject
Laity and participation: a theology of being the church
No full textThe basic assumption of this thesis is that there should be a theology of the laity that is truly positive, ecumenical and catholic. The prime concern, therefore, is less with specific contents and more an exploration of the dimensions such a new theology should incorporate and how it could be achieved. At the beginning we observe that, regarding contents as well as "hermeneutics”, currently most lay theologies are dominated by negatives. Therefore, I suggest we explore participation in the sense of "being the Church" rather than "doing something within the church”. Opening sections look at appropriate coordinates for a biblical foundation for lay theology, while a brief overview of church history explores how and why the current status quo of the laity came about. In view of this, the main parts then focus on how a more positive presentation of lay participation can be achieved. Part two explores Roman Catholic lay theology, discussing relevant official documents from Vatican II up to the present and also "unofficial" positions presented by Hans Küng, Karl Rahner, Leo Karrer, and Medard Kehl. To get at least some ecumenical perspective, this is complemented in Part three by an exploration of lay issues in Anglicanism, including ARCIC I and II. Part four explores the laity in liberative theologies, particularly their approaches to being the Church in the world, orthopraxis, authenticity as well as base communities as new forms of being church. In Part V, building on my earlier discussion and criticisms, I offer an alternative model for developing a positive definition of the laity including the image of the Church as a spoked wheel. My central claim is the inadequacy of present discussions and the need to develop a theology that starts from the vocation of the Church as a whole and stresses the interdependence of clergy and laity with neither subordinate to the other
