The Oxford 1937 Life and Work Conference is a highly important
event in the history of the ecumencial movement. It met at a time
of international political crisis. Within two years the world would
be at war. The churches in Europe and North America were confronted
by the rise of totalitarian regimes, especially in Germany and
Russia. Led by Joseph Oldham the conference delegates analysed this
crisis theologically. They understood totalitarian regimes to be a
form of Political religion adopted by people whose lives lacked
meaning and purpose. The advent of secularism had removed Christian
belief and practice from the West and humanity turned to false and
pagan religions to fill the void. Oxford 1937 was a call to the
churches to reassert themselves against this secular and pagan
challenge.
