NEWSLETTER AUTUMN 2010

Reg Ward, 1925-2010
  
Our former President William Reginald Ward, known to his friends as Reg, was for many years Professor of Modern History at the University of Durham, and was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2009.  He was one of the most prolific and provocative of English modern church historians.  Originally an economic historian, he had a profound sense of the roles of power politics and self-interest in the history of the Church, and this was given a further edge by his Primitive Methodist formation and by his distrust of both ecclesiastical institutions and intellectual theology, and by his conviction that the fundamentals of Christianity were provided by a lay preacher and his Bible.  This informs his definitive edition of the correspondence of Jabez Bunting, the dominant figure in Wesleyan Methodism after Wesley,  which Reg interpreted as showing the Connexion surrendering to ecclesiasticism and political conservatism, and thereby losing a possibly dominant role in English working class culture.  This same perspective gives bite to his two very useful books on Georgian and Victorian Oxford, then the intellectual heart of the Church of England, written at a time when most English ecclesiastical historians were Anglicans, and furnishes the unique perspective of his general book on Religion and society in England, 1790-1950 (1972) in what he regarded as the crucial decades of the later Georgian period.  There are some remarks on this theme in his address as President of the Ecclesiastical History Society (Studies in Church History 8) which have greatly influenced a wider view of the political formation of western Christianity in the modern era.  Reg’s radical ecclesiology – I would not annoy him by calling it churchmanship – made him the magisterial historian of the Evangelical Revival, in its English dimension and, more especially, in its Lutheran German origins. His knowledge of the German Lutheran archival sources for this subject was unrivalled, and he was most unusual, if not unique among English scholars in his age group, in his mastery of the history of eighteenth-century Germany.  He also wrote on the later history of German Christian social thought, in a difficult but rewarding book (Theology, sociology and politics: the German Protestant social conscience, 1890-1933, 1979) and another general survey of western European Christianity in the middle modern era (Christianity under the Ancien Régime, 1648-1789, 1999).  He was endlessly curious about the byways of his subject, and an Austrian family, I think, found a bundle of literature in their attic left by an eighteenth-century Protestant colporteur on precisely the route for such colporteurs as Reg had described.  The history of religion in Britain which I co-edited with Bill Sheils (1994) contains an essay in which Reg showed his knowledge of the Scottish and Welsh dimensions of the Revival.  His energy was as extraordinary as his wit was sharp, and he was a very effective academic politician, positioning himself precisely in the Durham University Senate chamber, which has poor acoustics, where he knew that the Dean or Vice-Chancellor could best hear him.  He was also distinguished by his kindness to younger scholars with quite different convictions from himself.  As the co-editor, in seven volumes, of John Wesley's Journal and Diaries, he will now, I trust, be in an historically productive conversation with that very formidable saint in heaven.  He himself described his historical writing as ‘the rant of an old ranter’ (with reference to the old pejorative term for lay preachers.  It was a great honour for me to become President of the Ecclesiastical History Society in the fortieth anniversary year of Reg’s Presidency, which is also the fortieth anniversary of my joining the Society.  I had already dedicated to him my Presidential address, knowing his liking for anything beyond the beaten track.  Our thoughts are with his beloved wife Barbara, who made his long and productive life such a successful one.

Message from Kathryn Harris

Dear Fellow Members and Friends, I don’t know how to begin to thank you for the gifts I was given at the St Andrews Conference!  I still feel quite overwhelmed by them and was taken completely by surprise at the presentation.  I realise you will not have seen the painting, which is a delightful water-colour of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.  It will be a most happy reminder of my years as treasurer and I am extremely grateful to you all.  Thank you as well for the very generous book token, which I will certainly use on ecclesiastical subjects.  I do want to thank Stella for organising these gifts and Sarah Foot and Brenda Bolton for transporting the painting to St Andrews and back again (so that I did not have to carry it on the train!)  It does feel very strange to be giving up my role as treasurer, which I have enjoyed for all the contacts it has given me with members of the Society over the years.  I do hope to continue these contacts and friendships at future conferences, rather than through subscription reminders and invoices!  Thank you again so very much and all good wishes
Kathryn Harris

Winter Meeting, 8 January 2011

The Winter Meeting will be held on 8 January 2011 at Dr Williams’s Library, 14 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0AR.  Completing the theme initiated at the St Andrews conference, the theme of the meeting will be The Church and Literature.  The three speakers will be Professor John Took (UCL), Professor Thomas Corns (Bangor) and Dr Andrew Sanders (Durham), speaking on Dante, Milton and Dickens respectively.  A programme and booking form for the Winter Meeting at the IHR is attached at the very back of this newsletter, and will also appear on the EHS website.  Bookings should be sent to the Conference Secretary, Michael Walsh, to arrive no later than 10 December 2010.

Summer Conference, Christ Church, Oxford, 17-20 August 2011

The Summer Conference on the theme of The Church on its Past will be held at Christ Church College, Oxford, under the presidency of Professor Sarah Foot.   A description of the theme with a list of the main speakers, together with a call for communications, is attached.  Note that these will not be circulated again, so should be retained by members for future reference; they will also be made available on the website.  Please note: there will be TWO opportunities to submit proposals for communications: an early deadline on 15 November 2010 (decisions to be announced to speakers in early December) and a final deadline on 31 March 2011.  Booking forms for the conference will be available on the website from late January and will also be sent out with the Spring Newsletter.  Prospective speakers who wish to apply for funding from their own institutions or other bodies to attend the Summer Conference are advised to apply by 15 November.

EHS Conference Bursaries
The Society offers a number of conference bursaries to postgraduate members who have had communications accepted by the Editors for presentation at the Summer Conference.  Applications should be made on the form which will be available on the website in due course.  A single bursary for the Summer Conference may be funded by the Anglo-Catholic History Society for a communication on a topic in keeping with that Society’s interests.  The application process is the same as for the EHS bursaries.

Michael Kennedy Prize
The Society awards an annual prize of £150 for the best postgraduate communication given at the Summer Conference.  This is chosen after the conference by the President and the Editors of Studies in Church History.

EHS Postgraduate Colloquium, University of Manchester, 4 February 2011

On behalf of the Committee of the Ecclesiastical History Society, we invite research student members – or prospective members – of the EHS to the next Postgraduate Colloquium on the History of Christianity, to be held at The University of Manchester on Friday 4 February 2011.  This has traditionally been an informal opportunity for students to get to know one another and to learn about each other's work, and the papers are at least as interesting as those at the main conference!  We would welcome offers of twenty-minute papers (on any topic in the history of Christianity).  This will be followed by ten minutes for questions and discussion.  Please contact Dr Geordan Hammond, email: ghammond@nazarene.ac.uk Send your name, institution, department, supervisor's name, and proposed title to Geordan by 21st January 2011.

Canadian Society of Church History: Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences 
University of New Brunswick and St Thomas University, Fredericton, NB 
28-30 May 2011
The Canadian Society of Church History (CSCH) is dedicated to promoting and encouraging research in the history of Christianity, particularly the history of Christianity in Canada.  Since its founding in 1960, the society’s annual meetings have provided a forum for historians of Christianity to present and discuss their research in a welcoming and supportive ethos.  The meeting is enriched by the participation of scholars from all career stages.  Thus the society encourages junior scholars (including graduate students), mid-career scholars, and senior scholars to present papers.  The CSCH invites proposals for session themes, panel discussions and papers from scholars working in the area of the history of Christianity in Canada, as well as the history of Christianity in other times and places.  The CSCH also welcomes proposals for joint sessions with other societies, such as the Canadian Historical Association (CHA) or the Canadian Catholic Historical Association. Proposals may address the theme for Congress 2011, which is “Coasts and Continents: Exploring Peoples and Places” (http://congress2011.ca/).  Please submit one-page proposals and a brief CV (one-page maximum) to the programme chair: Dr. Darren Schmidt, Visiting Research Fellow, The King’s University College, Edmonton, Alberta; email: Darren.Schmidt@kingsu.ca.  Mailing address for printed proposals: Attn: Darren Schmidt, The King’s University College, 9125 – 50th Street NW, Edmonton, AB T6B 2H3.  Proposals are due 29 January 29 2011. Please note that presenters normally are members of the society.  Travel subsidies may be available for presenters.  Information about past conferences, membership, publications, etc., is available at the Canadian Society of Church History website: http://www.augustana.ualberta.ca/csch/.

Brethren and Mission: a conference in honour of Timothy Stunt
Lindors Country House Hotel, The Fence, St Briavels, Lydney, Gloucestershire GL156RB
25-27 June 2011
The fifth International Brethren History Conference takes as its theme ‘Brethren and Mission’.  The Christian Brethren were, in the phrase of David Bebbington, ‘evangelicals of the evangelicals’.  As such they were enthusiasts for mission.  It has been calculated that at least 1% of the British membership became overseas missionaries—an impressive statistic—and of course there were the numerous full-time evangelists in the countries of origin while much of the life of local assemblies was geared towards outreach.  Brethren missiology placed great importance in gathering converts in assemblies, thus fulfilling the Great Commission to ‘make disciples’.  Women could find a liberty in evangelism which they could not always readily find in other areas of assembly life, and they were often actively promoted in this area.  Their contribution to foreign mission was considerable.  In recent discussion ‘mission’ has come to have a wider meaning than just being a synonym for ‘evangelism’.  Here too the Brethren embraced opportunities to found hospitals and schools as part of their overseas missionary work.  This conference will be an opportunity to assess the Brethren concept of mission in historical perspective.  Papers on any aspect relevant to the topic are invited. Further details can be had from the convenor, Dr Neil Dickson: ndickson53@yahoo.co.uk

Ecclesiastical History Society
Summer Conference 2011

CHRIST CHURCH, OXFORD, 
17-20 AUGUST 2011

The Church on its Past

Our fiftieth anniversary summer conference offers the Society an exciting opportunity to celebrate its own past and to reflect on developments in Ecclesiastical History as a discipline over the past fifty years. We shall mark the Society’s own history in the publication of Stella Fletcher’s history of the Society, which will be launched during the conference.  Plenary speakers will address specific areas of the writing of Ecclesiastical History in the second half of the twentieth century, setting the debates and issues that have preoccupied Church historians in the wider context of developments in History (and to some extent also Theology) over the same period.  At the Winter Meeting, all three papers will consider shifts in historical perceptions of the relations between Church and State.  Communications to the summer conference are therefore invited under two heads: historiographical reflections on particular areas of the churches’ history; and discussion of periods in Church History where churches have looked to the past to explain the present, or legitimate visions for the future.

Among the more significant changes to affect the discipline of History over the last half century has been a growth of interest in historiography.  From its former status as a marginal branch of History pursued only by a few, it has become a growing area of historical enquiry, taking a central place in undergraduate curricula in History.  Historians’ increased reflexivity on their own discipline has arisen, in part, out of the substantial changes that History has experienced methodologically and conceptually over the second half of the twentieth century.  Other disciplines – sociology, anthropology, literary theory, cultural studies – have significantly affected the ways in which historians approach the past.  To what extent are those same shifts visible in Ecclesiastical History?  The influence of anthropology is perhaps the most immediately obvious to a medievalist, but social and literary theories also have had a substantial impact.  We might want to reflect on whether we, as a Society, have kept pace with these wider changes and ask where Ecclesiastical History stands in relation to other branches of the discipline, particularly to the burgeoning study of religion. 

Sessions for communications will be organised thematically, not chronologically, and we welcome collaborative applications from groups of scholars offering papers on a single theme. Members might choose to suggest papers addressing areas of Church History to which previous conferences were devoted; all are encouraged to ensure that their papers are equally accessible to historians of all periods of the Church. The conference will open with a round-table ecumenical discussion on the question ‘What has Church history ever done for the Church?’

Plenary speakers at the Summer Conference and Winter Meeting are David Bebbington, Sarah Foot, Matthew Grimley, Judith Lieu, Diarmaid MacCulloch, Anthony Milton, Ken Parker, and Claudia Rapp.
