University of Oxford, 1 st July 1990
The writer of this paper examines the theme of obedience and the dimensions of this principle in the Bible and in More’s life and times. Government and a Christian’s responsibility to the ruling powers are also considered. As in More’s case, the principle of conscience remains the individual’s main instrument of discernment when loyalty to conflicting demands for obedience are manifested
Frederick Temple, Randall Davidson and the Coronation of Edward VII
Queen Victoria had been crowned on 28 June 1838. When she died in January 1901 there can have been very few people indeed who had even the vaguest memory of what her coronation had been like. There was an opportunity for scholarship to influence the shape which the ceremonies for the new monarch would take and there was both a liturgical interest and a liturgical expertise which had not existed in the 1820s and 1830s
Voluntary Absolutism
In 1818 Dr John Philip was sent out to supervise the London Missionary Society stations at the Cape of Good Hope. His first letter to the Society’s headquarters is dated from Liverpool on 5 December of that year and contains the statement, ‘We have been at sea for seventeen days and are still in the Mersey River.’ Philip went on to ask for various items, including - significantly perhaps - a barometer! And there was time for the barometer to reac…
Ethics, Evolution and Biblical Criticism in the Thought of Benjamin Jowett and John William Colenso
With one minor exception, it was not much more than a series of coincidences which linked Jowett and Colenso. The one exception was when Colenso was in England after being excommunicated by Robert Gray, bishop of Capetown, as metropolitan. Samuel Wilberforce refused to allow Colenso to function in the diocese of Oxford but Jowett invited him to preach in Balliol chapel, which was not under the bishop's jurisdiction. Apart from this there seems to…

African separatists
Africa has never been an absolutely dark continent to those who live elsewhere. From the days of the Phoenician traders of Carthage to the Afro-Arab mercantile empires of the fifteenth century Africa was always a source of what more literate peoples wanted. Long before modern Europeans began to explore the continent others had been there and taken their literary skills with them. In 1857 Richard Burton - the real Richard Burton - went on a journe…
Laymen in synod
Even quite eminent Tractarians tended to think that, however impossible things might be in the Church of England, the colonies provided the sort of field where they could create the kind of Church in which they really believed. That Church would follow patristic patterns, of course, would be free from the nexus of establishment, and would be governed by synods. As regards South Africa they nourished particularly high hopes. Robert Gray, the first…
The selection and training of missionaries in the early nineteenth century
Anyone who studies the techniques and strategy of early nineteenth-century missionaries and (even more) of early nineteenth-century missionary societies can hardly avoid gaining the impression that they suffered from a romantic casualness. It is as if zealous Christians of the period were so convinced that the Lord would guide and provide for the missionary that he really did not need much mundane preparation. Nineteenth-century missionaries ofte…
Baptism
The Theology of Graduation
Nowadays when ‘Executive Officers’ and ‘Councils for Evangelical Strategy’ plan a ‘Younger Church’ one of the things they worry about most is the training of an indigenous clergy. In the nineteenth century men were not so self-conscious about missions. You took the Gospel to the heathen. You relied upon clergy coming from ‘home.’ Even where there was a small population of white colonists, they did not often expect to have to produce their own cle…
Letter from South Africa
John William Colenso
It is probably no one's fault that general histories of the Church in the nineteenth century are so misleading about bishop Colenso. Unless one gets down to the primary source material, which is almost all in South Africa, there is no way of escaping from the distortions of controversy. Almost all the books about Colenso are unreliable. His own biography was written by an ardent admirer who hoped to succeed him as bishop of Natal. The lives of hi…
The Theory and Practice of Prayer Book Revision in South Africa
The Provincial Synod of the Church of the Province of South Africa met for the first time in 1870. A long controversy, of which the Colenso law-suits were the core, had made it plain that the Anglican Church was not, and could not be, an established Church in South Africa. The chief task of the synod was to provide some alternative machinery of government and a constitution which could legally serve as a contractual basis for the exercise of the …
