The aim of the book is to explore some of the contributions made by
Protestant Nonconformity to Christian missions. The occasion of the
conference which gave rise to the volume was the centenary of the
Edinburgh Missionary Conference of 1910, but the topics treated
here deliberately range more widely, covering missions in Britain
and the wider world from the eighteenth to the twentieth century.
COMMENDATIONS "Martin Wellings is to be warmly thanked for
gathering such an informative and stimulating collection of papers.
They are scholarly and accessible, and deserve to be widely read."
- Alan P.F. Sell, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, UK
This book offers a detailed analysis of one of the key episodes of
twentieth-century ecumenism, focusing on the efforts made to
reconcile the Church of England and the Methodist Church of Great
Britain in the years since the First World War. Drawing on newly
available archives as well as on a broad range of historical,
theological, and liturgical expertise, the contributions explore
what was attempted, why success proved elusive, and how the quest
for unity was reconfigured into the twenty-first century. The
volume sets contemporary ecumenical ambitions in historical
context, explains the origins, course, and aftermath of the
Anglican–Methodist ‘Conversations’ of 1955–72, retrieves
their enduring global legacy, and explores the fraught nature of
the ecumenical quest. It will be of key interest to scholars with
an interest in ecumenism, Methodist studies, and church history.

In the closing years of the nineteenth century and the first
decades of the twentieth century Anglican Evangelicals faced a
series of challenges. In responding to Anglo-Catholicism, liberal
theology, Darwinism and biblical criticism, the unity and identity
of the Evangelical school were severely tested.
An important contribution to the understanding of twentieth-century
Anglicanism and evangelicalism This volume makes a considerable
contribution to the understanding of twentieth-century Anglicanism
and evangelicalism. It includes an expansive introduction which
both engages with recent scholarship and challenges existing
narratives. The book locates the diverse Anglican evangelical
movement in the broader fields of the history of English
Christianity and evangelical globalisation. Contributors argue that
evangelicals often engaged constructively with the wider Church of
England, long before the 1967 Keele Congress, and displayed a
greater internal party unity than has previously been supposed.
Other significant themes include the rise of various
'neo-evangelicalisms', charismaticism, lay leadership, changing
conceptions of national identity, and the importance of
generational shifts. The volume also provides an analysis of major
organisations, conferences and networks, including the Keswick
Convention, Islington Conference and Nationwide Festival of Light.

In the early hours of almost every morning during the Covid
lockdown in the months of March and April 2021, these poems began
mysteriously arriving - like persistent early morning visitors.
Curiously, the author's wife was absent for the whole of this time,
and much to her amusement, in her place lay an open notebook, a
blank page and a pen. Soon nearly 40 poems filled the notebook -
Martin never having written poetry in his life before. Although the
pandemic provides the foreground for this collection of poems, they
have also been prompted by timeless universal themes, symbolised in
a snowdrop, a park bench or an olive tree; found in conversations
about love and life and death, in news items and random images. But
most of all arising out of that deep longing for union and freedom
at the source of each of us. The poems are about what it means to
be alive and deeply connected to the natural world. In so doing
they go to the heart of mindful living and non-dual wisdom
This is a story about a strange encounter on the golf course with
someone who, on the face of it, knows nothing about golf but who
ends up teaching the author about the inner game and questioning
his approach to golf and to life itself. It's not just about golf
or sport, nor about improvement or progress or how to do something.
If anything, it points to a way of living effortlessly that is free
and harmonious, that is, to the essence of mindfulness and
non-duality. Each of the nineteen chapters contains a lesson which
the author palpably resists for the first few holes. But, gradually
he comes to realise the profound truth in the teachings of the
stranger and begins to understand the radical perspective of no one
playing.
