Charismatics, Liberals and New Reformations in the ‘Long’ 1960s
Charismatic renewal and radical Christianity were movements of the ‘long’ 1960s. They both saw themselves as ‘new Reformations’ but have seldom been examined together. This article claims that ‘renewed’ and ‘religionless’ Christianity were more related than usually assumed. Both responded to a profound sense of religion-in-crisis. They were deeply eschatological and in different ways emphasised the Spirit. Despite some obvious dissimilarities, th…
From Archives to the Classroom
This article examines the thinking behind the Religious Toleration and Peace (RETOPEA) project, and specifically the construction of a digital archive of sources concerning religious diversity in Europe and beyond, past and present. It argues that European young people tend to accept Enlightenment assumptions about the past and ‘religious conflict’ and that their views of religious history are shaped by ‘presentism’. The article explores RETOPEA'…
Creative Shared Religious Education with Film-Making and History
This paper discusses the development of an innovative methodology for engaging young people with issues of religious diversity and toleration, through combining engagement with historical and contemporary sources with the production of short documentary films reflecting on their own experience. We report on pilot workshops held in contrasting locations-London, Belfast, Skopje (North Macedonia), Durrës (Albania), and Amman (Jordan). In some of the…

The Emergence of Catholic Charismatic Renewal ‘in a Country’
Global Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) has been the subject of few scholarly historical studies. Outside the United States, Australia was one of the main early contexts for its emergence and expansion. This article assesses the historical origins and early development of CCR in Australia from a transnational perspective, exploring the relationships and flows between this country and the American upper Midwest ‘cockpit’ of early CCR – the unive…
Race’, Black Majority Churches, and the Rise of Ecumenical Multiculturalism in the 1970s
At the beginning of the 1970s, relations between the historic British churches and the new black-led churches were usually non-existent or marked by prejudices or ambivalences. This article examines the emergence, development, and significance of a cross-cultural ecumenical dialogue sponsored by the British Council of Churches. It places this in a context of both growing white liberal interest in the 'multi-racial' society and the increasing publ…
The Prayer Book Controversy
In this chapter the author examines the role of Anglo-Catholicism in the revision process between the Royal Commission on Ecclesiastical Discipline and the rejection of the 1928 Prayer Book in Parliament. The early twentieth-century project of Prayer Book revision in England in some ways indicated the growing recognition and acceptance of Anglo-Catholicism within the wider Church. However, as the process became increasingly controversial with del…

What could be more Christian than to allow the Sikhs to use it?’ Church Redundancy and Minority Religion in Bedford, 1977–8
In 1985, Faith in the City , The Church of England’s report on Urban Priority Areas, commented that Christians frequently had an excess of church buildings, while ‘people of other faiths are often exceedingly short of places in which to meet and worship’. The challenge of securing sacred space has been common to migrant groups in Britain, and during the 1970s sharing of space between national historic denominations and migrant religious groups wa…

Parliament, the Church of England and the Last Gasp of Political Protestantism, 1963–4
Political protestantism has been an enduring theme in parliamentary and ecclesiastical politics and has had considerable influence on modern C hurch and state relations. Since the mid 19th century, evangelicals have sought to apply external and internal pressure on parliament to maintain the ‘protestant identity’ of the national C hurch, and as late as 1928, the house of commons rejected anglican proposals for the revision of the prayer book. Thi…

English Evangelicals, Protestant National Identity, and Anglican Prayer Book Revision, 1927–1928
This paper examines English Anglican and Free Church evangelical reactions to the Church of England's Prayer Book revision proposals in 1927–1928, arguing that their responses reveal the resilience of Protestant national identity and anti‐Catholicism within English evangelicalism during this period. The concept of a Protestant nation, reformed heritage and Protestant constitution remained integral to the English evangelical identity. The robust “…
National Religion and the Prayer Book Controversy, 1927-1928
This is the first full length examination of a defining moment in the history of the Church of England in the twentieth century: the Prayer Book controversy of 1927-28. It argues that conceptions of national religion were influential in the debates surrounding liturgical revision, showing in particular how ideas of Protestant national identity clashed with both liberal Anglican and moderate Anglo-Catholic conceptions of Church and nation. It show…
Discipline and Comprehensiveness
The Prayer Book revision controversy was among the most significant events in the Church of England during the twentieth century. The proposals to revise the 1662 Book of Common Prayer provoked considerable opposition from both Evangelicals and Anglo-Catholics, and culminated with the House of Commons rejecting a revised book in 1927 and a re-revised version in 1928. This paper will argue that two issues, ecclesiastical authority and Anglican ide…
