Church and Chapel in Industrializing Society: Anglican Ministry and
Methodism in Shropshire, 1760-1785 envelopes a new and provocative
revisionist history of Methodism and the Church of England in the
eighteenth century, challenging the Church's perception as a varied
body with myriad obstacles which it dutifully and substantially
confronted (if not always successfully) through the maintenance of
an ecclesiastically and theologically rooted pastoral ideal. This
model was lived out 'on the ground' by the parish clergy, many of
whom were demonstrably innovative and conscientious in fulfilling
their pastoral vocation vis-a-vis the new demands presented by the
social, ecclesiastical, political, and economic forces of the day,
not least of which was the rise of industrialisation. Contrary to
the effete arguments of older cadre church historians, heavily
reliant on the nineteenth-century denominational histories and
primarily the various forms of Methodism, this book provides a
thoroughly researched study of the ministry of John William
Fletcher, incumbent of the parish of Madeley at the heart of the
industrial revolution, whose own work along with that of his
Evangelically minded Anglican-Methodist colleagues found the Church
of England sufficiently strong and remarkably flexible enough to
rigorously and creatively do the work of the Church alongside their
non-Anglican Evangelical counterparts. Despite the manifest
challenges of industrializing society, residual dissent, and
competition from the Church's rivals, the Establishment was not
incapable of competing in the religious marketplace.
