	Free Church of Scotland \| Contemporary Calvinism - a Third Way?
		To his astonishment the local Church of Scotland minister who himself is a fine evangelical preacher was unable to give that guarantee as he felt that he would have to invite another C of S minister to preach – even though he knew that this man was not an evangelical.
		Sadly the Free Church man felt he had to withdraw because he could not participate in a service where people were being invited to hear the gospel, and yet it could not be guaranteed that the gospel would be preached.
		Broad churchmanship (whether it is Calvinistic or not) does not work and will not work because it is not radical enough and because it is an old fashioned answer to an old fashioned problem.

		Dr. South says, “The High Church are those who think highly of the Church and lowly of themselves; the Low Church, those who think lowly of the Church and highly of themselves” (this may be epigrammatic, but the latter half is not true).
		Broad Church are those who think the Church is broad enough for all religious parties, and their own views of religion are chiefly of a moral nature, their doctrinal views being so rounded and elastic that they can come into collision with no one.

	Christ Church New Haven
		The Anglican Church (Church of England) also never disavowed the historic sacraments of the church nor redefined them in such a way that their original meanings as mystical signs of God's grace, present actions of the Holy Spirit, were lost.
		Though the 16th Century Catholic Church in England separated from Rome to form the Anglican Church as a result of a political dispute between King Henry VIII and the Pope, there were many Reformation-minded theologians in the English clergy who were ready to articulate a different religious vision.
		There are other churches from the Catholic side of Anglicanism which maintain the pre-Vatican II forms of Roman Catholic worship almost in their entirety as they had been adopted in the late nineteenth century.

		These are that fixed and unchangeable which every church is bound to respect, and in virtue of which every church must have its conservative side, its cardinal east, the eye of its horizon, the salient principle and starting-point of its spiritual life.
		The church in which these elements unite is a broad church, though numbering its disciples not by millions, but by hundreds or by tens.
		A holy catholic church it is, though the smallest sect in Christendom, and excommunicated by all the rest.

		The Church Renewal web site has downloadable resources to assist churches in their preparation. The weekend introduces renewal to the entire church in a tangible way. A significant proportion of the church membership is involved in the preparation. A general chairperson and 13 preparation groups plan and implement the weekend.
		The final phase of Church Renewal uses small groups to focus on the new direction established during the Lay Ministry Weekend; the journey outward. A Discipleship weekend or Experiencing God Weekend is suggested for this phase of the Journey.
		Churches participating in the journey discover that through the renewal process a spiritual foundation is laid for everything a church does. Organizations and programs take on meaning because they are focused on ministry, evangelism and mission.

	Lewis Carroll and Religion - Background
		In basic terms, the history of mid to late 19th C religion is the history of a power struggle between the High Church with its extremes of Ritualism and Tractarianism, and the Broad Church (which didn't have those things).
		The Broad Church basically were, as their name implies, 'broad', permitting much more liberal interpretations of gospel, and much wider ranging views on such matters as the Divine Inspiration of Holy Scripture.
		Broad Church liberals were more inclined to attempt to integrate it into their system of thinking, with varying degrees of success.

		We are the church of the Scottish covenanters, who at risk to life and liberty, rejected efforts to conform the church to the world.

	Broad Church: A Biography of a Movement, The Anglican Theological Review - Find Articles
		Jones is concerned to question if the Broad Church was ever a "movement." he is keen to show, first, that his heroes disliked the notion of parties within the church and, secondly, that they shared a quest for truth.
		Writing of this decline, he concludes: "Suddenly, the prospect of being at once socially respectable and scandalous, conjoined with the freedom of speaking one's mind with impunity, endowed the liberal school of theology with a sort of sensational grandeur that was to attract not only honest doubters, but a growing number of irreverent deniers" (p.
		The Broad Church seems to have taken a little from the philosophies of Spinoza and Kant, more from the Romantic movement in poetry and religion, and most from the historical-critical methods of reading the Bible coming out of Germany.

	Free Church of Scotland \| Ichcabod - The Decline of the Church in Scotland
		Rather than challenging that society the Church tried to keep up with it (in order to demonstrate relevance) and as a result, for most of the 20th century, was playing catch-up.
		I am not convinced that the broad church mentality is as tolerant or as broad as it sometimes claims.
		Thus the church going public in Scotland were presented with tow equally ugly choices – a broad church liberalism which lacked intellectual coherence and spiritual vigour and a narrow church legalism which seemed to lack the beauty, vision and humility of the gospel.

	The Broad Church Party in the Church of England (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Working under the direct or indirect influence of German liberal thought, Broad Churchmen emphasized that the Bible, though in some sense divinely inspired, was not, as Evangelicals and Tractarians believed, literally true in every detail, and that therefore the scriptures should be read metaphorically or even mythologically.
		The Broad Church position locates the analogies not in not in the relation between the design of the world and the divine nature but in correspondences between human life and experience and aspects of the divine order, ultimately between the human heart and the divine spirit.
		Some Broad Churchman, like the headmaster of Rugby Thomas Arnold (father of the critic and poet) and the Christian Socialist F. Maurice also emphasized a social gospel -— that is, that one could worship Christ only by working for social justice.

		But side by side with the Wesleys and Whitefield, the Anglican Church of that time had other leaders in whom the same species of spiritual impulse was active, but in whom it was kept freer from emotional excesses and manifested no tendency to stray off into separatism.
		They were mainly instrumental in founding the Church Missionary Society in 1799, had much to do with the founding of the Bible Society in 1804, and collaborated actively, to their eternal credit, with Wilberforce and Henry Thornton in their successful crusade against the slave trade.

	A broad church, or one that's too narrow? - Editorial - Opinion - theage.com.au
		Mr Abbott, stressing the difference between religion and religion in politics, draws a fine line that is perhaps too slender for his more trenchant critics to notice; but at least he is willing to make a distinction.
		Yet it is not always easy for politicians with strong religious beliefs to exchange prayer books for statute books, particularly on issues of conscience, but also when party lines can become crossed with personal beliefs and politicians begin to take on the role of the clergy.
		One of the greatest instances of the power the church once held over state occurs in Schiller's play Don Carlos, when the Grand Inquisitor ominously says to King Philip II of Spain: "The church's heavy chains pressed hard upon you;/You would be free, and claim your independence./We are avenged.

		The once unthinkable prospect of women bishops in the Church of England inched a little closer yesterday, when the General Synod voted to explore the different ways in which they might be ordained.
		Opponents of women bishops are demanding a "third province" of the Church of England, with an all-male hierarchy.
		It is, of course, important that Anglicans who nurture deep and coherent theological objections to women priests are not compelled to accept their ministry: this will be a test of the Church of England's claim to be a "broad Church".
